Vacation Bible School 2016

One of the highlights of the summer comes the very first week after school ends when Hannah and many of her friends attend Vacation Bible School! 

This year’s theme was Deep Sea Discovery and as always the church went all out decorating for this great week for the kids!

There were over 500 kids in attendance and almost 200 volunteers!  I love this pic as it’s some of the Grades 6-8 kids who attended.  Such an important age group to still have involved!

The kids raised money all week by bringing in coins to help support and orphanage.  They met one of the goals so one of the leaders spent Friday sporting this blonde wig which the kids loved!

Friday morning parents were invited to attend a performance by their kiddos.   I love seeing my little girl praising the Lord!!

What a perfect way for Hannah to start her summer!

Vacation Bible School

Last week Hannah and a number of her friends went to Vacation Bible School at our church and they had a blast!  I helped with VBS for a number of years before Hannah was born and it was always one of the highlights of my year!  This year I was super excited that Hannah was old enough to attend!  There were over 465 kiddos and 150 staff who attended each day and 68 of those were JK grads just like Hannah.  What an exciting week!

Each day she came home excited to tell me about what she’d done and I heard her singing the songs too.   It was neat that 3 of her good friends not only were at VBS but were at her table so they spent the entire week together!

I took this pic the first morning.  Hannah and Chick were excited but little Pea wasn’t too sure.  By the next morning all 3 were excited to go to ‘camp’!

Friday was family day so I took the day off work.  We dropped the kids off at VBS and K1 and I skipped all the way to the coffee shop!  A morning to ourselves to visit?  Woo hoo!!

At 11 K1 and I headed back to the church to enjoy what the kids had been preparing all week!

I have already started to think about the dates of next year’s California trip so that we can go there and also be here the week of VBS!
