“In choosing how we spend time as a family, we should be
careful not to exhaust our available time on things that are merely good and
leave little time for that which is better or best. A friend took his young
family on a series of summer vacation trips, including visits to memorable
historic sites. At the end of the summer he asked his teenage son which of
these good summer activities he enjoyed most. The father learned from the
reply, and so did those he told of it. ‘The thing I liked best this summer,’ the
boy replied, ‘was the night you and I laid on the lawn and looked at the stars
and talked.’ Super family activities may be good for children, but they are not
always better than one-on-one time with a loving parent.” - President Dallin H.
Oaks
