3...2...1...Fly!

Ahhh. Relief. We made it through the VBS week. The last cookie has been eaten at the closing program and my children are soundly sleeping in their beds. Now on to our vacation! We leave in 3 days for Denver, Colorado...a place I've wanted to visit for several years, ever since I had my eye on Nathan and he went there without me. This time we are going together with our two boys in tow. I'm meeting many relatives that I've never met before and staying two nights at a place called Fellowship Camp. I don't have a picture of mountains or I would have added that instead of a pineapple and coconut!

Day Two

We registered 13 new faces at VBS today. Only 3 kids didn't show up from yesterday so our numbers bumped up by 10. It's a busy morning that's for sure. But somehow all the activity doesn't wear Levi out. Instead, he is even more active in the afternoons. Today we went in the backyard for some fun in the sun...and the sprinkler! Much to my delight, the previous owner left one behind that is perfect for the boys. It sprays back and forth and they love to run through it. Ian took a second nap after that but Levi still wasn't tired. It takes until at least 9 p.m. to wear that boy out.

Say Cheese

This week I'm taking pictures at our vacation Bible school. Our theme is Amazon Adventure. It's a lot of fun to go around to all the rooms and catch the kids playing, eating, making crafts, etc. Below are a few of my favorite shots from Day 1. We registered a record 79 children the first day!
