Logan started a fun Holy Thursday tradition with Augustine two years ago. This year Lewis was old enough to be included!
In the evening on Holy Thursday Logan picks seven* churches around town. He and the boys write down an intention to pray for at each church. Then they drive to each church, visit the reposed altar, and pray for the intention they chose. We call it the Holy Thursday Pilgrimage.
It's a fun way to teach the boys about the Triduum, pray together, and enjoy a family tradition.
Logan very cleverly made each boy a check list. They wrote down their intention for each church stop, and could check the box once their stop was complete. 
Both boys chose people to pray for. Logan had a sheet too, but we didn't take a photo because the new baby's name was on it. ;)
To make it work, I nap both the boys in the afternoon so they can stay up about two hours later than usual. They are usually gone about 1 1/2 hours on the pilgrimage. The boys LOVE it!
*Going to seven churches is a Catholic tradition dating back to the 1300s.
