August Family Home Evening

They look a little like ants up on that sand dune at by Idaho Falls. Wendy was in charge of our Family Home evening for the month of August. The kids had a ball playing in the sand and having fun together. Just as we got ready to eat we had a bad sand storm which drove us all into our cars. Then it cleared up and the kids had a ball.

Mariah had written out a play and Grandpa played the part of Lehi although they didn't tell anyone that at the time. He just told all the kids that he had seen a vision and that we were to leave all of our physical things behind and take our tents and go into the desert. Lance (Laman) complained and Derek (Lemuel) said we want to go back. Rod (Nephi) said he would go and do the things that the Lord comanded him to. Then Lehi sent them back to get the scriptures and of course the two brothers didn't want to. Grandma was afraid she wouldn't see her sons again but they came back safe and sound.

The kids got to get in the tents and they Wendy said that Katrina should get in the tent and who would deliver her baby when it came, maybe Kaitlyn and they all laughed. It was very effective and the kids were saying things like I need my teddy bear and stuffed animals. Thanks for the nice home evening and thanks Scott for grilling all those hamburgers and hot dogs.

We missed Shanell, Becky and Kendra and Jared and their family. We do have a great family and we love you all.
