Last night for Family Home Evening, Rob gave a lesson based on this talk and how a family functions better when everyone is trying to work together and do what's right. And as we do whenever we can, we found a way to turn the lesson into throwing things off our second floor balcony. We tied one string around a weight, threw it off and pointed out that only one string can't handle it and broke. Then we put three strings together and did the same thing. Ava thought it was incredibly fun and seemed to understand the concept as she mentioned it later in her prayers. Charlotte, on the other hand was only somewhat in on the action. Apparently being able to see the ground below through the slats in the deck was unnerving to her and she kept herself right smack dab up against the door. She really wanted to be out in all the action but would take one step forward and then immediately pull back up agains the door. Good thing mama can hold her.
