Fun Family Home Evening

A friend of ours told us how fun it was at the church musuem. They have a kids pretend area upstairs. We decided to try it for Family Home Evening though it is rare to have Steve off on a Monday night. We have been excited to go for a few months and finally got the chance, thankfully right before Jonas came.

This is a quilting area, teaching how quilts are made. They could put patterns together or us a rope to put in holes.

This is Nephi's boat. There was a portion to build the boat, and to steer it.They could also tell scripture stories with these wood dolls.

I think this was building the tower of babel.In this area, they had planting a garden and making dinner for the missionaries!You could also dress up in these colorful dresses and dance old latin dances that were shown on a video as you watched yourself in a mirror.

There was even more to do: writing on the gold plates, riding a bike, making necklaces. It was a lot of fun and kept them interested while we talked about things they had been learning in church.I have been really excited to show the girls the statue of Christ and have them listen to the message. We went in the Visitors Center, and the girls were aweful. They were running around and fighting and screaming. Needless to say, we took a picture (after a fight), and got out of there. I guess you can only expect so much, and it was getting late and they should have been getting ready for bed. The museum was great though, and perhaps another time we will have to visit the statue and other visitors center!
