This Reminds Me

In about 30 minutes, the girls and I will leave for our second evening of Vacation Bible School (VBS). I know everyone thinks it’s geared for “little kids,” but I swear we’ve had more fun with it as the girls have gotten older.

Of course, it’s Julia’s first VBS.  Originally, we hadn’t planned to take her.  Thought it might be too much for her.  But after how well she’s done in Sunday School – and seeing how much she wants to be around kids her age – we decided to give it a try.

Lois and her (equally goofy) friend Sam taught Julia how to “boogie woogie” in the sanctuary as beach balls flew around the room.

Hannah and friends Bailey (pictured) and Kaylynn switched nametags with each other.  Now I’m sure the teacher was confused based on appearance alone.

Lois spontaneously volunteered herself to assist on stage in group worship.  I’m thinking if the whole lawyer thing doesn’t work out for her, she’s got a career in televangelism.  Anyone up for biting the heads off a few live chickens?

A little lower now!  Julia and fellow limbo-ers during their music time.

Rachel – flanked by friends Mallory and Michelle – joined other youth in supervising recreation in the gym.  “Youth” and “supervising”….ummmm…time to scoot.

When we were driving home last night, we asked Julia if VBS was fun.  She understands the word “fun.”  Answer:  “Da!”  Rachel, Lois, Hannah and I give VBS a “da,” too.  So, cast off, mates - we’re off for another evening at “Son Treasure Island!”
