A Bouncy Family Night!

Our church teaches us to have a weekly Family Night, and this is something that we try to be very consistent about doing.  It's pretty easy for us to do because we all love family night!

Our typical family night begins with singing songs.  Lots and lots of songs, generally with actions, as this is by far Blake's favorite part!  There is nothing cuter than seeing him bounce and hop around the room to Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam!  :) 

Then we say a prayer, followed by a short lesson where we teach each other about the gospel and living good values.  

After the lesson it's time for the activity and sometimes a treat - and this is by far Katelee's favorite part!  We usually play some sort of game, such as hide-and-seek, a board game, or tickle tag.  Last Monday night, however, our activity was a bit more exciting than usual.  

Katelee had received two free passes to Kangaroo Zoo, a local bouncy house, and so we took the kids for a free night of bouncing fun!

Katelee was in heaven from the moment she walked in the door! 
Blake, on the other hand, needed some convincing.  
He was scared of the unstable surface of the bouncy toys when he stepped on them.  After a half an hour or so, and some help from mom and dad, he began to enjoy himself finally!

 We played hard, and had a great time.

By the time we left, both kids were ready for a good night's sleep.
This is the night we've waited for;
Always a treat we have in store!
We love each other more and more
With every family night!
Stories and games for everyone;
Learning the gospel can be fun!
Father and mother, daughter, son,
Together on family night!
