Hotwheels FHE

Every Monday evening we try and have Family Home Evening (FHE) where we teach our children simple gospel lessons and spend time as a family. Most weeks it's a very simple, short lesson squeezed in between dinner and bed time. But once in a while we try and do a bit more. A few weeks ago we had a great FHE with a Hotwheels theme. 

We started with a lesson about prophets and apostles. I had the girls drive their cars on a map. Some of the places they were able to drive to. Other were not on the map because their map didn't show those places. They needed a different map. We talked about how we have the scriptures as a great map that help us a lot. But we still need modern revelation because sometimes things changes (ie- new road/place are built). Prophets help keep our maps current and keep us heading back to Heavenly Father in our ever changing world. They really listened well! 

Then we had "dirt cups" for dessert and had a Hotwheels "elite eight" competition. Each of us (besides Lenora) picked two cars and we raced them on Michael's track. Both Hazel and Eliza's cars whooped on ours! Hazel ended up winning with her car Sparkle Perfect!

Most weeks FHE is hard and it doesn't seem like anyone learns much. But I'm so thankful for the weeks when it is meaningful and our kids remember what we talked about. Hotwheels night was a great FHE!
