So… I’ve put up 2 new galleries:

  • 20060626 Playing in Niagara Falls
    As you could probably tell by a previous post, for a Family Home Evening activity recently we went to Niagara Falls. All the employees had been given free passes to the new Niagara SkyWheel, and we also had some leftover mini-putt passes. Lisa wouldn’t go up in the Ferris wheel with us, but she did mini-putt. It was all good, including the awesome funnel cakes we had inside the Great Canadian Midway (the big arcade).
  • 20060701 Matthew’s 2nd Birthday
    Lisa invited everyone to go to Happy Rolf’s on Canada Day for Matthew’s birthday party. He’s 2! We had KFC for lunch, lots of strawberries, and an amazing birthday cake. We saw the animals, fed the ducks, and threw rocks (we can’t go to Happy Rolf’s without throwing rocks). There were 17 people there in total, and Matthew was spoiled!

Andrea’s tattoo

For Family Home Evening on Monday, my lesson was kind of a game. We pulled letters out of a box, and we had to think of church-related words that started with that letter. The person who thought of the best word or the most words got to keep that letter, and then the person who had the most letters won. The prize was a temporary tattoo from a box of Freezies. Andrea won:

Another Saturday, more pictures…

  • 20060618 Father’s Day – These are pictures of me, Andrew, and Matthew opening my present. Everyone went to Alisa and Jason’s house for dinner, but I didn’t take my camera in, so I have no pictures for it. But the food was great and we had a good time.
  • 20060619 Trip to Ball’s Falls – Our activity for Family Home Evening on Monday was going to Ball’s Falls. It was a beautiful evening, and so we had a nice hike. There are some great pictures of Andrew and Matthew here.

Another Saturday, another boring day, more galleries posted…

  • 20060508 Visit to Happy Rolph’s
    We went to Happy Rolph’s after Family Home Evening a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening. We fed the ducks and of course threw rocks. There are some good pictures of Andrew and Matthew by the lake.
  • 20060514 Mother’s Day
    We had our Mother’s Day dinner at our house. We had amazing pork and chicken kabobs. I think the Moms were happy with the day.

FHE – The Creation

3 Replies

On Monday for Family Home Evening I taught a lesson on the creation. Each of us drew one of the “days” of the creation and then I summarized the story of the creation from Genesis. We tried to explain to Andrew that it was like following a recipe… there were different steps involved. Then we made a list of different features of animals (antlers, hooves, tails, scales, tusks, etc) and we each made our own animal. As you can see, we may be creative, but we can’t draw!
