Family Scripture Study

Today was a long and busy day! After breakfast the kids helped me clean the house. It's been good to add some chores into our daily routine since its Summer time and they've been really helpful so far. Then we met some friends at the beach and they all enjoyed playing together. Ryder loved splashing in the water. And then Kade had another late baseball game tonight which is always fun. 

We got home late and the kids seemed a bit sleep deprived but we took the time to read scriptures together anyway and I'm so glad we did. Normally when we read scriptures the kids hardly ever sit still and it doesn't seem like they are really listening, but tonight they each cuddled up to me on either side and listened. Kade followed along and asked lots of questions. Right now we're reading in Alma chapter 43 and Kade wanted to know why the Zoramties became Lamanites. And we got to talk about Captain Moroni and how he prepared his armies with good armor. Kade said, "I bet when the Lamanites saw the Nephites they were probably like, 'Yikes! Let's get out of here!'" It made me laugh. 

I loved being able to discuss the scriptures with the kids. I hope they learned something from it.
