Favorite Activity

Bracken's favorite activity is acting out the scriptures. Sometimes for FHE Brian will put on a play of a scripture story with all of Bracken's animals. Last week it was the Tower of Babel. Bracken thought it was hilarious when his lion started speaking in German, his giraffe in Chinese, and his zebra in who-know's-what language. They built a tower of books and Bracken got to knock it over at the end of the lesson.

Here are some of his other favorite stories to act out:

Samuel the Lamanite

Alma and Amulek

The "Nephi Game"

Bracken is Nephi, I'm Sariah, and Chandra is Jacob (I get in big trouble if I slip and call her Jacob. "No Mom! His name is Jacob, stop calling my little brother Chandra!") This game usually involves walking around in the desert (our living room), building tents (piles of couch cushions, blankets, and every pillow in the house), going hunting for mountain goats with bows and arrows, breaking our bows, building new ones, and cooking beans. I have no idea how cooking beans became a part of the Nephi story, but he wants to mix beans, water, salt, and pepper almost every day. We have been eating A LOT of beans.
