FHE Dad's Way. . .

A few weeks ago, Jake told me he wanted to incorporate bows and arrows into a FHE lesson. Really? Have fun was the help he got from me. . .So, last night, was the bow and arrow FHE. We went out into our little pasture and the boys show arrows at a target he had made. When they got enough points they got the reward, we had taken scriptures about shooting Samuel the Lamanite -- so they got to go find their prize. . .wrapped so nicely . . . a bunch of rotten food! We then went out to the pasture and he changed the target. . .a rabbit. The kids shot at that until they got enough points again, and then they read the scripture of Nephi's bow. They went and got the good prize. . .The boys LOVED it! I loved that there was enough space in the yard that we didn't need to worry about it going over a fence. . .Great job Jake!
