Simple yet splendid

 

That's how we like to have Family Home Evening at our house; and this Monday night our Family Home Evening did not pale in comparison to other weeks.

The title of our lesson was "I Belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints"--yes we had a title.

For part of the lesson we went up to the church and Jace "hunted" for where it was written on our church building.

He also got to "hunt" for a treasure that I had hidden earlier. 

He found a white paper bag hidden in a sprinkler box in the lawn.  It contained melted M&M's and fruit snacks.

We headed home, it was past 9:00pm and dark. The kids were quiet in the van, happily eating their treat.  Ryan suggested we drive around.

While driving, this large toad hopped across our path.

Luckily it didn't get squished.

Ryan couldn't resist giving Robin and Rue a chance to see it up close.

It was a hit.

Now how could Family Home Evening be more splendid than that?
