A few months ago a family in the ward gave us a gopher snake they found on their property. The kids were SO EXCITED!
They played with him everyday, until it pooped on Will. That is when George the snake was fun no more.
Monday night for Family Home Evening we decided to let George free.
We took him to the hills behind our house.
Before we set George free, I asked each of the kids what their favorite memory was of him.
Will said, “ the first day we got him” .
Benny said, “the day he pooped on Will”.
Hannah said, “the time he almost escaped from his cage and Chloe grabbed him while screaming”'.
Avril said, “the day we let him go”.
Goodbye George! Thanks for making life exciting for a day!
To tie setting George free it into a Family Home Evening lesson, Ray tied the kids hands and feet like they were in bondage. We talked about some of the things in life that can keep us in '”chains”.
The object lesson kind of backfired. They had a little too much fun in bondage!

Sarah your family is beautiful! Glad to see the updates on blogger again! And congrats on the new little one!
This is my favorite. It like Avril and Hannah's comments the best. I would never ever ever let a snake live in our house; and I have 3 boys! Remember when you kept stopping your car by the dead rattlesnake on the road and wanted Brad and I to get out and look at it. You are quite the nature lover!
