The BEST Family Home Evening in a long time....

Someday I'll post about our wonderful Christmas vacation to Sacramento, but today I'm just going to do a quick post about our Family Home Evening lesson tonight...

Five year old Christopher was in charge. He loves legos. I mean LOVES legos. I don't know that he got more than a present or two for Christmas that didn't have something to do with legos. Sooooo... for FHE tonight we dumped out the lego bucket and told everyone to make something that had to do with a scripture story. We all guessed the stories and then discussed them at the end.

JJ and his lego scene... The apostles didn't catch any fish. Jesus told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. The nets came up full of fish - so many that the boat almost sang.
Kelly illustrated the story of Jesus traveling to the temple with His family and being left there. When Mary and Joseph went back to find Him, Jesus was teaching in the temple.
Christopher built a wall and had Samuel the Lamanite on top. The other two people threw rocks and arrows at him but nothing ever hit Samuel (see the "rocks" on the green ground?).

When Kelly gave the closing prayer she was thankful for the best FHE. Success!

Logan Temple

For FHE one night we drove to Logan. Among other things, we walked around the temple and took some pictures.

Final Picture

Final picture with Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes before they left to go home. We had so much fun with all of the activities we crammed into the weekend they were here.

Syracuse City Pumpkin Walk

The first thing we did with Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes was attend the Syracuse City Pumpkin Walk. There were so many carved pumpkins. All the activities (except the hamster balls) were free. It was great!

Grandparents

We couldn't pass up taking a picture of the kids with both sets of grandparents.

Bison on Antelope Island

While Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes were visiting we drove out to Antelope Island (where Christopher Layton - great-great grandfather ran sheep in the 1800s). We got there too late to go to the museum or tour the ranch house but we did see lots of buffalo - including a painted buffalo for our Fargo friends.

Hill Aerospace Museum

One stop we made while Grandma and Grandpa Fewkes were visiting was the Hill Aerospace Museum. We took lots of pictures and had lots of fun. We found a C-130 airplane - the kind that Grandpa flew on in the early 70s.
