Livingroom Camping

This weekend we decided that it was time for our first camping trip of the year. We gathered our tent, our sleeping bags, and a flashlight. We pitched our tent in a remote area of our living room and there we settled for the night. We popped some corn and watched an old western on the laptop. We all fell asleep under the protection of our houses roof.

Not exactly rustic, but fun all the same.

FHE at Eastwood Lake Metro Park

Feeding the ducks at Eastwood Lake Metro Park


So FHE (Family Home Evening) on April 11, 2005 was held at the local Metro park. We hold FHE every Monday night, sometimes we just have a little lesson at home, sometimes we visit with friends or family, and sometimes we head for an adventure. Such was the case on the 11th.

One thing I must say is that the Dayton area park system is by far one of the best I have seen. I am greatful for the free ooportunity these many parks provide for wholesome family activities. We have used the local parks on many occasions and will continue as long as we live here.

So this particular visit to the Eastwood Lake Metro Park provided some grilled chicken, duck feeding, kite flying, and playground fun. We had a wonderful time as a family.

That is the goal of our FHE, what ever we do, we do it as a family.
