evening at the park

Nathan chose to go to the park tonight for our Family Home Evening activity. The weather was lovely today so everyone was happy with that idea. I took pictures while...


Nathan and Slade skateboarded.


Dave, Emma and Sawyer played soccer.




Anne climbed at the playground and did some twirling in the grass.



Ben smiled and crawled.



Slade actually (almost unbelievably) decided to join in the soccer game.

Dave worked hard to earn Best Dad in the World status by playing soccer and then tag. My favorite quote of the evening came when Dave was chasing down Slade in the game of tag. Slade took off across the field with Dave following behind. Dave settled into a jogging pace and said to Slade, "How long do you think you can last? I ran 11 miles on Saturday so I can go for quite awhile."

My picture taking came to an end when Ben decided he was done crawling and wanted to walk instead. Unfortunately walking requites assistance (which he demands all day long!).


Darkness fell upon us so we returned home for another round of Easter candy. It was a great night which left me looking forward to more evenings in the park.

And you say that Ben never smiles!
