VBS

Last week was VBS at our church. Vacation Bible School is so popular, you have to register in the Spring just to get a spot for your child (ren). Both my kids have been eager attendees since kindergarten, but this year Lauren opted to take an Art Class instead. VBS is loads of fun, but it is honestly the most exhausting week of summer. They have to be there by 8:30am and they go-go-go until noon every single day, outside, under the heat of the day. Lauren was also just promoted to Juniors on dance team so that provided a conflict as well. I had hesitated to sign Niko up because,as a parent, I have to go every morning and then back again to pick him up. I just couldn't do it. Niko was devastated--until Mindy, his good buddies mom, offered a him a seat in her van. Niko was more than grateful and so excited to join all his buddies from school in this week of fun, learning and growing in our faith. Thanks Mindy! Sherri was our always reliable leader --not only does she lead our boys every summer, she documents the entire thing ( I think I have about 70 pictures she's emailed me from last week.) Here is just one--purple was the color this time--and Sherri went all out for our kids! NIko is the one with the giant purple hand! Thanks Sherri for a wonderfully fun, spiritually fulfilling week!
