Some of our favorite memories have been made around a crackling campfire. We all enjoy spending the peaceful evenings together outside. Campfires are especially fun for everyone because there is something for each person to work on. Our little brothers love chopping firewood, we girls prepare a meal to roast, and Dad enjoys spending time with his little men as they work together. Although marshmallows may be the little ones highlight of the night,everyone delights in the special time when our guitar, banjo, or fiddle adds to the chorus of voices as they all join in song. You can always find an evening campfire at our home in the summertime. -Kami
We play board games and read in the colder months. When the weather's nice, we like to play outside, take walks, go to the park or just sit on the deck and watch the sun go down and TALK! -KellyOur family loves to read! Usually we don't have much time for it, but when someone is sick, I spend most of my spare time reading to them. Right now we're in the middle of Elsie Dinsmore, Little Men, and various American Girl books. We never watch regular tv, and maybe a video every other day. -Marqueta
We are a family of 8 and have not had a TV for a LONG time! We live on a farm of 100 acres and have found God's wonderful creation to be the very best substitute for hours mis-spent in front of the TV. Most of the time we would have been "planted" in front of the TV, we redeem by *planting* in the garden or tending the beginnings of our orchard. We all work together in these activities - and we all enjoy it. -Cindy
And, Michele had a question/comment:
Hi Crystal, Here's my question for your readers: Why not just give up TV (and that includes movies) since so many seem to have a difficult time finding appropriate things to watch? It seems to me that there is so much agonizing over TV/movies - why not just quit cold turkey and save yourself the anxiety? I did that more than two years ago, and I wish I'd done it sooner. I get my news either online or via the radio. I will admit that I very, very occasionally will watch a Jane Austen DVD on my computer, but it's something like 2-3 times a year! I will admit that I've always been much more into books than TV/movies. -Michele
