Monday Family Home Evening

Our lesson this week was "I am Thankful for Water." My wonderful MIL sent a letter with pictures to the kids, discussing water and showing pictures of the desert. They are moving to Tuscon soon, so she included pictures of saguaro cacti. She also sent a video she made for her Sunbeam class. Her letters are meant to be instant family home evenings. Afterwards, TJ wanted to go "swimming in the river." It was 8 pm, somewhat cold, and dark. Brent and I had to run errands after the kids went to bed, so I told them if they got their jammies on they could go to the river. There is a pond by Brent's office with lights and a bridge, a few geese and a fountain. We spent almost an hour walking around the pond, watching the geese and throwing pine cones off the bridge. What fun.
