Son Rock Kids Camp!

It was a big week around here... VBS week! Here at Zion VBS is held in the evening and the whole family is invited to join in. Every evening begins with a meal (Woohoo! I didn't have to cook all week!). The theme this year was Son Rock Kids Camp, so we had camp skits, mail call, and lots of woodsy fun.

I helped teach the 3 and 4 year old class - the Bumblebees, which wiggled with a whopping 20 kids most nights. Kevin taught the "Wise Old Owls" class for adults. Johnathan enjoyed the nursery class and Naomi kept me company in the Bumblebees. It was a whirlwind week but we had a lot of fun and were amazed at the turnout from the surrounding community.


Naomi dances to the songs which will probably be stuck in our heads all summer.


A few of the Bumblebees get ready for a story from the life of Peter. Good ole' flannelgraphs!! Naomi loved it all - from the skits to the crafts to the games and the giant tortoise named spike that one of the teachers brought for the preschoolers to see. Johnathan loved his "class", too. He was so excited for "BBS" each night.

The final night of VBS is a big deal. After the final session in the church, we went out on the grounds to eat hamburgers and play on bouncy houses, a rock wall, and the playground. Kevin bravely took waterballoons in the head as a part of the "VBS Celebrity" water balloon game.

The end of VBS... I think we have some sleep to catch up on now.
