I love Family Home Evening!

Raegan, Tyler and Grandpa
Tonight for Family Home Evening we went over to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help with some yard work. The kids helped with raking and picking up sticks that were covering the yard. They also picked up rocks in what will be the garden and grandma said she would pay each kid a penny a rock! There are a lot of rocks. I think maybe each kid earned a dollar...They were thrilled!
Raegan looking pretty sassy while wheel barreling the leaves and sticks away.
Sydney is always up for "Striking a Pose"
Max couldn't decide what he wanted to do, either ride in the wheelbarrow or push it, either way he wasn't a very happy boy.

The girls had a great time even picking up rocks. Yes and Sydney doesn't take a picture without
striking a pose.

Andrew just worked quietly on his own.
Tyler was a workhorse.
He had that wheelbarrow filled quickly.

Then for all of their hard work they were rewarded with homemade ice cream...yum! Kalli and Tyler were pretending they were cranking the ice cream maker like grandma used to have.
Topping the ice cream was a great end to a very nice Family Home Evening.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!!
