"No T.V. Month"

At Miles insistence the kids avoided T.V., movies, computer, and video games for a month. We spent our time more creatively during that time. Besides the usual parks and museums here are some of the things we did.

Here is Miles' friend Zac, Miles, Lilette and her buddy Brooklynn bowling:


Brian's sweet Mother made this adorable pioneer outfit for Lilette's Kirsten doll. In this photo Lilette is showing off their matching pioneer hair styles in front of an authentic pioneer spinning wheel at the Provo Pioneer Museum.

This is a pic of Lilette and Miles trying out stilts in front of the pioneer school house at the Provo Pioneer Village. My nephew Nate is in the background racing climbing bears with a random girl:

Here is a picture of Miles, cousin Clark, and Lilette at Bridal Veil Falls:

Now we are on a system where in kids earn screen time by reading. (One hour of Reading time=One hour of chosen screen time).

That is totally brilliant! How fun! My kids almost never watch TV in the summer, but in the winter this is going to really come in handy!
