Camp Floyd/Finished Book of Mormon



Camp Floyd/Finished Book of Mormon 2012



This was a special day for us. We went to church, went home and through a bunch of food together, grabbed our scriptures ended up at Camp Floyd. Camp Floyd is a 'heritage park that reflects the settlement of Utah and its resolution of ongoing conflicts with the federal government'. It's about 15 minutes away from our house. 

We had been reading the Book of Mormon as a family and were finally on the last couple of chapters. We read the end of the Book of Mormon at this beautiful park and had lunch. It was a neat experience. We'd read the Book of Mormon as a family before, but the kids were younger and don't remember it as well. We gave the kids the challenge of praying and asking Heavenly Father if this book is true. 

Reading the scriptures as a family is hard. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth it because we end with kids being grounded and being set to bed:) It's hard but it IS worth it. 

(On a lighter note: I want this tree! It's the coolest tree. There's even a little hole for the kids to hide in on the other side of the trunk.)
