Slurpee

We had a Family Home Evening activity tonight. Megan earned a bicycle bell because she is now riding a bike without training wheels. We are ALL excited about this as it means more possibilities for longer-distance bike trips. She even chose to bike in the rain on Friday last!

On the way to the store, Travis gave a little lesson in the van about how if we learn and do all that Heavenly Father asks, what do we get? Eternal life. Is that a reward? Yes! Did Megan learn something? Yes! How to ride a a bike! What is her reward? Knowing how to ride a bike and a bike bell! Perfect lesson- short, sweet, and applicable.

Sadly, we couldn't find the bell (even after stopping at 2 stores). BUT, the girls did get the promised Slurpee's. Miranda was very patient- she's been waiting since Saturday for this treat!

Veronica is now old enough that she has to have her own Slurpee. The minute we walked into 7-eleven, she shrieked "MINE!" and ran over and grabbed a cup. She was adamant about having her own cup this time (in the past Travis usually shared his large cup with her). So, 4 Slurpee's and an icecream bar later (Zoë opted for an alternate treat and I chose to forego the extra calories altogether), we headed home.

It's fun to have little lessons like this for Family Home Evening.
