Family Fun Night

We try to set aside a Friday night once a month or more to have a fun family activity. It's challenging to come up with something that the little boys will enjoy that won't bore Ethan, or that won't leave the younger ones out. Luke had a brilliant idea one of the last times we did this ... after supper, all the boys got their pj shorts on - but no shirts. Then Luke blew up a queen size air mattress, and they bounced. And bounced. And bounced.

Even Benny was able to play.




Papa played, too.


Benny did just watch part of the time, but he still enjoyed that tremendously!


See how I manage to cut at least part of someone's head off in most of the pictures? That takes real skill, folks.

Ethan was getting pretty exuberant toward the end.


And whatever Ethan tries, Alex tries too.


This has by far been the biggest "family fun night" hit. The boys all loved it, and Ethan and Alex have been asking when we can do it again. If you have any other ideas for us, I'd love it if you'd share them in the comments!
