Family Home Evening
We are definitely not good at this whole family home evening thing. However we have done more of it in the past 6 weeks or so than our entire marriage, so at least we're trying now! Fisher's took us bowling a few weeks ago for FHE and Luke has been knocking down pins(milk jugs) with balls ever since. Tonight we decided to spend just a little cash and go to Clearfield Aquatic Center for swimming as our activity. Despite my horror at the thought of being in a swim suit in public-it was a success! Luke thinks he's an unsinkable fish and he jumped right in with his swim wings and tube and immediately started kicking, never minding the water in his face(or his lungs), and never caring that he couldn't touch the bottom of the pool. He was so cute as he went up the stairs with Casey to the water slide. He went down twice, the brave soul. The current pool was another favorite and he layed his head back on the tube and just soaked up the leisure. I had to yell at stupid unsupervised kids who were spraying everyone including the countless children under 3, but I guess someone had to say something right? Luke begged to go off the diving board but I don't think they let you take really small kids on those so I put my foot down with that one. My child is fearless in the water! Makes me feel proud and scared all at once. Hopefully we can make this a regular habit in our home and add in more spiritual things as well, but for now at least we're off the couch, the computer, and the phones for a few hours long enough to spend quality time together just the three of us. :)

How fun! He can start swim lessons this year, you know, and you don't even have to get in the water with him!
ReplyDeleteI hate all those stupid kids squirting people in the little circle thing! Usually I give them such nasty looks that they all learn quickly to not get me! But occasionally you get some little so-and-so who does it anyway. Death to the squirt guns!!
