I really wanted to like the network Pure Flix, but after signing up for the free offer and checking out the network, we decided not to continue into a paid membership with Pure Flix. Many of the Christian shows on this network are available on Netflix and the shows that are specific to Pure Flix did not have high caliber acting in our family's opinion and the connectivity seemed to be very sketchy. The shows and movies that we watched kept having to pause while they tried to load and it had nothing to do with our internet connectivity. On some shows the people's mouth movements were delayed behind the actual sound. Altogether we just didn't think that the network was worth the monthly investment, which was sad because I was really hoping that there would be shows that we could pick from in this network without having to worry about investigating ahead of time to be safe for our family to watch.
I will say that the productions that they had available by Ken Ham and the Creation People, as I like to call them, were very engaging and interesting. We watched Ken Ham's debate with Bill Nye the Science Guy as they toured the Ark Encounter.
In addition to our search for something family-friendly to watch together, my hubby was inspired by Trey's latest hobby of Legos. We've started holding our own Lego races in the living room after dinner. We each craft our very own Lego race car, name them, and then race them.
We started out our race night with a cardboard race track and it didn't take long for Leon and Trey to head to the basement and design and build a much more studier track that would last many races. Trey and Leon are Lego building naturals. The girls and I have to work a little harder to craft vehicles from our own creativity, without any easy to follow instructions.
It's just amazing to me the creative things our minds can be entertained by when your options are limited!
Many of our races were very close calls!
