VBS

Last week was good, bad, wonderful, tiring, and lots of fun.

We left the house a couple of hours after church on Sunday and headed over to Mom-Maw’s. The reason? Vacation Bible School.



Goldie Age 4
Josiah Age 2
Stuart Age 8 months

All of them were in the same class with their cousins, Megan and Laken. With their parents and Aunt Rosa hands and minds were kept VERY busy.

I’ve never spent an entire week at Bible School.
This is what it was like for the 0-4 age group.

First we arrived at 6:30 each evening.
Then we split into classes. Our class went into the basement of the church and there we would proceed to have a lesson while the children sat around the table and colored.

After the lesson was given and attendance taken we went to the Fellowship Hall where we ate Subway Sandwiches, Fruit, Cheesecake Squares (Goldie fell in love with these) and cookies (Josiah was hooked on those.) Stuart sat in a high chair and destroyed whatever food we laid in front of him.



Then we’d go back to class and make crafts. The lion is one such craft, as was the homemade play dough bread Goldie is working on. They made T-shirts, Bible covers, and more. Just before 8:30 we’d clean up and go practice a song about Running for Jesus.





On Friday everyone met and they did a musical/theatrical presentation of the things the young people had learned during the week. Goldie and Josiah had fun running on stage trying to remember the words to the song. Rosa had her hands full with those two while I was in the back holding a sleeping and sick Stuart.

We came home Saturday in time for the 24th of July Ward Picnic celebrating the Mormon Pioneers hiking across the plains. I was so tired from being up nights with Stuart that I didn’t make it through the whole thing. But it was a fun week spent with family. We love you!
