Family Week

Once a year our stake sets aside a week as "Family Week". During this week we are supposed to turn off our tv, our computers, video games, etc. and spend time together as a family. We try to make sure that we have dinner together every night and schedule some fun family activities. A tradition for our family is to have a soccer game with several other families and it is really a lot of fun. The parents play against the kids and the winner gets bragging rights for an entire year. Keep in mind that most of the adults (especially me!) are out of shape and don't touch a soccer ball or play any kind of sport on a regular basis. The kids love to win, but last night was a different story. The parents earned their bragging rights (I even scored a goal!) and we had a great time with our kids. We ended the night with cookies and snow cones and were chased off the field by rain and lightening. We may have won, but I'll bet the kids aren't suffering from the aches and pains of playing hard like their parents are!
