Taylor and I have made it a priority to have more Family Home Evenings this year. If you don't know what that is, its basically a time during the week that you set a part to spend with your family. We set an hour or two or three or how ever many we want to sing songs, learn about Jesus, tell stories, plan for the week, and do a fun activity. Most LDS families do this on Monday, but this Monday we forgot. Ooops. But we still set some time aside later in the week to spend together. Taylor, the fun parent, wanted to go down to the lake and skip rocks. That whole week him and Harper had been collecting rocks that he thought would work well for skipping. Like is he the cutest dad or what? So we went down to the lake and skipped some rocks. It was so muddy and totally disgusting if I'm being honest. But we all loved it. Harper had a blast exploring and rolling around in the sand. She even tried to dive in the water to chase after the ducks haha. Being the accident prone one in the family: I stepped into a sink hole. My entire shoe and foot were covered in mud. Taylor got some good laughs out of it. It was so fun taking time to enjoy the quiet and listen to the little sounds of nature around us. I wish we could do it more.
