Is bribing your kids to read the scriptures wong????

Ok, so many of you know it took 5 years for us to read the Book of Mormon as a family. We try to find a time when everyone is home during the school year and it is really hard with seminary, early morning band practice etc.
So, we have cut back on a lot this summer, and we decided to challenge the kids that if we read the Book of Mormon by the end of summer we will take them to Disneyland. Is that bad? I look at it as a reward, not a bribe...that works, right?

I tell ya, they are MOTIVATED!!! We have to read 4 chapters a day to finish by August first. We read two in the morning and two at night and it is hard. We have four more chapters and we will be done in second Nephi...we made it through the Isaiah chapters-yahoo!

Poor McKay, he tries so hard to understand it. Sometimes, I remember some of the things I have learned and others we just say...that is just Isaiah which means, we don't have a clue!

Wish us luck!
