Keeping Niko Busy

On Monday the 12th, Chris and I went over to the house of a family in our ward. Their daughter's boyfriend had been called to serve a mission to Madagascar. We had a lovely dinner and then spent about an hour talking about Mada and all its wonders. In passing, as we were about to wrap up, they mentioned that he would be serving in Reunion. It's also part of the mission, but may as well be on the other side of the world for how different it is from Mada. We gathered everyone in again for "Fireside #2" and Chris gave them the low down on Reunion from a missionary perspective. All I could add was that it was incredible and my favorite place on earth. :) It was a nice evening, but quite long for the boys. To keep Niko busy, I caved and let him play with our digital camera. Niko found almost immediately that he much preferred to have the lens face him rather than who he was pointing the camera at. He spent about a half hour walking up to people and saying, "Un, deux, tree" and snapping a picture of himself. 117 pictures later, the battery died. Here are my favorites.

You just gotta love this kid!
