Today's thing is "every kid should learn about their family history". My mother happens to be a family history guru so I took some time today to learn about my family. If you have not guessed it already, Kelli and I are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS for short); so it is not surprising that I learned that my great, great, great grandfather was a polygamist. The LDS church no longer practices polygamy but it is a part of our history. Anyways my grandfather had three wives and I come from his second wife. He was even put in jail because he was a polygamist. I also learned that my father's side is British and that we have some old royal blood in the family. My mother's side is from Denmark in fact my great grandfather moved here from Denmark in his early twenties where he met is wife who was also from Denmark. It was really interesting to learn about my family and I also got to spend some time with my mom. It was a great experience.
