When I was younger my parents would always tell us to be nice to each other because when we would grow up "our best friends would be our brothers and sisters", and when we were 5 and 6 it was cool to be friends and then well then... we grew up. It wasn't as cool anymore we all had things we wanted to do different people we wanted to be with. Dinner time as a family was enough for us. My parents had a different idea of family time though they would make us have family home evenings and they would make us spend every other saturday day together. AS A FAMILY. Sometimes we could invite a friend but usually we didn't. I really didn't ever enjoy them growing up... in my opinion I had sooo many other (better) things I could have been doing. However now that I am going to school and I am 11 hours away from my family I miss it. I really miss spending time just hanging out at home with them and cooking with them or even hiking and I hate hiking. :) I think even though I didn't enjoy family time then I am so glad we had it now!
Whole Family Recreation Ideas:

- Eat together.
- Pray together.
- Read scriptures together.
- Learn a new skill.
- Have a cooking contest.
- Have a talent show
- Do family home evenings.
- Do a project for your home together.
