OUR NIGHT AT "AMAZING JAKE'S"

Every first Sunday of the month our entire family gets together for a combined Family Home Evening. There are 27 of us so it gets pretty crazy until it's time for the opening song and prayer. Each month we have a lesson, an activity, refreshments and a spotlight person. We tell a little bit about the spotlight person and then tell things we like about them. For July our spotlight guy was Max. Part of the fun is he gets to go on a date with Grampa and Gramma. We told Max he could take a friend with him on the date and he chose his best friend and brother Ben. The four of us headed for Amazing Jake's where we ate dinner and then had lots of fun!

THE FROG HOPPER

Ben and Max had to ride the Frog Hopper twice because it was so much fun the first time. I don't know if you can see the look on Max's face but it's one of sheer delight.

THE RACE IS ON


Car #9 with Ben and Grandma, (Grandma is not seen in this picture as she is taking the photo),
was clearly in first place for most of the race until they were rudely bumped aside by some green car and Max and Grandpa in car#10 won the race. It's okay because this is supposed to be Max's special night.
