Family Home Evening Adventures

You never know what to expect on Sunday (and sometime Monday) evenings. It could be a simple lesson with some snacks, a plentiful filling meal, or maybe some random fun laughs that create a memory...regardless the Sandpoint YSA has perfected the art of Family Home Evenings:) A few weeks ago the scheduled activity was in Bonners Ferry, ID. We were to gather at their meetinghouse for a short lesson, and then separate in teams for a Scavenger hunt. The lesson was awesome, and a great motivator to those either contemplating or preparing for missions. Ashly Gross talked about her time serving down South, and the wonderful experiences she had!
(acting like Disney characters. With the pirates hats I think we were going for Pirates of the Caribbean?)

Afterwards we were placed in some teams. Naturally, I was with ALL BOYS. This always happens to me, but I'm not complaining really...I love it:) We drove Delilah (Rob's car) around Bonners looking for a few things... I remember a few categories: A street sign with a female name, street sign with a male name, act out Disney characters, a statue of an animal, a street sign of a state, standing in a natural body of water, an optical illusion, and a couple more I can't recall. My team included none other then Commodore Robosa himself at the helm of the vessel (he thinks he's a pirate fyi) Anthony Trunnell, Matthew Bouse, and Cody Miller. Oh what fun!
(This is our Optical Illusion.)

Following the dangerous maneuver around older folks driving much too slow for the win, we found out we actually placed second. Well much to THAT teams DISMAY, their picture of "A street sign with a state" was in fact a large city, not a state. Sorry folks, Denver never was a state! Haha so we WIN! Yayyyyy us:)

We then celebrated by treating ourselves to ice cream and french fries at the only fast food restaurant in Bonners, ZIPS! haha, what fun times, with fun people. Never a dull moment!
