Vacation Bible School

Last week we went to VBS every day. This was our first year to participate in Vacation Bible School and it was a great experience for all of us. The theme was Crocodile Dock and our church really went out of their way to make it a great success. Each day, we were introduced to a new bible buddy, which was a symbol of each day's lesson.

Day 1: Flash the Firefly- God is always with you
Day 2: Jacque le crock- God is powerful
Day 3: Belle the bird- God does what he says he'll do
Day 4: Blossom the Possum- God gives us life
Day 5: Tucker the Turtle- God will protect you

Each day the kids began in the worship center for assembly, while leaning new songs and dances. Then they would go to different stations, such as games, missions, snacks, crafts and bible stories and end their day back in the worship center to practice the songs and dances for the Firefly Finale. Both Maximus and River loved it and woke up each morning excited to go.

After a long day, they are both still smiling!!

This was my silly class. I helped teach Pre-K and they were a lot of fun. At the beginning of the week, I didn't know if I would make it till Friday, but by the end of the week, I had a hard time saying good-bye. I chose not to teach Kindergarten with Maximus because I want him to adapt to other's teaching styles, discipline as well as encourage independence.

The last day, we had the Firefly Finale where parents could come see and enjoy what their children have been learning all week. After they were done, the kids got to go outside for popsicles and an inflatable slide.

The Certificate of Completion. There is something special to a kid about a certificate. Maximus wanted to go that day and buy a frame for them. He was very proud!
