Did you know the Church Handbook of Instructions doesn't require you to hold an annual Primary activity? I just couldn't resist having a pioneer one since our church building has a lovely pavilion and horse shoe pit. We knocked it all out during a presidency meeting one day and it was so much fun! We had 6 stations, so every group had 6 or 7 children. The Bradys helped the children make butter, the Keenes taught how to play horseshoes and held a watermelon seed spitting contest, Heather had a stick pull, the Valiant 11 girls manned the potato sack races, Amber did the hoop and stick games, and my husband did the water bucket station while a YW took N around for us. I was the timer -- going around and making sure everything was going well with the primary president and helping groups switch stations. I'm so glad we did this. Easy, inexpensive, and hopefully created lots of happy memories.
Little airplane crash on the way home. Luckily the pilot was ok.
We absolutely loved spending a morning crawdad fishing with Carol. We've been meaning to do it for years and she knows her stuff! All we had to do was show up and she took care of the rest. The children have begging to go back. M would like me to add that "N was scared of the big ones." D dove right in and was taught how to hold them. The funniest moment for me was when I caught a huge one that Carol called "the King." He was so big he took the hot dog right off my hook and carried it away instead of us getting him to the water bucket. Thank you, Carol!
p.s. M was the first one to finish one of summer work books -- math. She was rewarded with $5 and used it to help her buy Tsum Tsum stuffies: Mickey & Minnie Mouse and Marie. She and K transformed the pink doll house into a Tsum Tsum house and were so clever in how they colonized other toys and items in the house. For instance, they used a piece of felt roast beef from the kitchen for curtains in the baby's nursery. D soon finished his math as well but K doesn't seem to care. lol.
