a not quite right family home evening




About a month ago Matt and I decided to head up to Mt Wellington and then head to Mures for tea with the kids for Family home evening. The kids were dying to go up the Mountain and we had had the best snow fall all winter. We packed the kids in the car and headed up towards the mountain. when we were almost at the turn off onto the mountain road our car decided to overheat making us have to pull over. While we were waiting for the car to cool down there was games of I spy, drawing on the windows as they fogged up, a little whining that it was taking too long and some climbing over seats. When the car had finally cooled down we decided it was best not to risk going up the mountain and headed back down to the city. We Landed at Mures and got take away and headed home. While the kids were disappointed that we didnt make it to the snow. We still had a fun family activity probably spending more time talking and playing then if we had made it to the top.
