Stories around the camp fire.

For our ward primary activity they did "Stories around the camp fire."  They invited the families of the primary kids to come to the activity.  Each family was suppose to tell a story about one of their pioneer ancestorys.  The boys weren't excited about telling a story until Andy offered to help them make costumes. 

Bradley and Daniel in their costumes.  I think they turned out so cute!

Eliza can't be left out of a picture these days.  :0)

At the church they had each family sit on a quilt together and eat popcorn and apple slices.  It was a lot of fun.

They also had little tents and tee pees set up around the cultral hall.

Eliza loved them!

Bradley and Daniel telling the story of a great, great, great, great, great grandpa who helped build the Manti, UT temple.  During the winter he and his family lived in a cave in the side of the hill.  They had to be careful though, because there were rattle snakes hybernatin in the cave.  The boys loved the part about the snakes.

It was a fun activity.  There were a couple stories about snakes as the pioneers crossed the plains.  Later that day Andy and I were able to go the the temple together.  We haven't been able to do that for a while and it is our last trip before baby brother arrives.  It was really nice to be able to go again.
