F.H.E.

We had a really fun family home evening last Monday. We went on a treasure hunt and each clue had a letter on the back. The very last clue was a certificate for bowling. Then we had to figure out what word the clues spelled to see what the lesson was about. It spelled out TEAMWORK. We headed to the car and on our way to Cedar we talked about how it took teamwork for us to find each clue and figure out the secret word. It is the same in our family. It takes teamwork for our family to run smooth. We talked about our different roles and how when one of us is slacking it talks a toll on the whole family. (You get the picture). To stay on the teamwork theme we did team bowling. Easton would bowl a ball and then Trey would try and knock the rest down. Aspyn would bowl a ball and then I would try and knock the rest down, And Ridge and Jim. We had to work together to get a better score. It was one of our best FHE's yet and I actually think the kids understood the lesson.

That sounds awesome! I think I am going to steal your idea one of these days. We haven't been doing FHE since we have been so busy, but I need to get it up and going again.
