VBS Fiesta!

Today was the last day of Vacation Bible School for the kids and for me. It was so much fun, although we had to miss a couple of days because of the flu. This was the kids first year, and then loved everything about it. We had over 125 kids in attendance.
When we pulled up on the first day Emery said, "hey look its a party". I said, "its a fiesta". "A Piesta?" she asked, "we've never been to a Piesta, but Dora has."

Ty was so excited to hit the Pinata, he had to wait 3 days, but he got a few good wacks in.

Emery and Justin didn't leave each other's side all week. Such buddies. Today on the way home I asked Emery if Justin was her friend (I already knew the answer, but wanted to hear what she would say). She said, "Yes, and he's ticklish." "Oh really? Did you tickle him?" "Yes, and bonked him on the head, he laughed." She said.
All righty then...little girls.


The pre-school class was so cute. They were supposed to be 4 but a few of us snuck our 3 year olds in. They all looked so small compared to the other kids. Ty couldn't wipe the smile off his face the whole week. He's carrying around all 5 of his bible buddies.


Even Mason and Piper made an appearance. Since Lindsay and I were co-coordinators we were able to bring the babies, unfortunately they both are getting over the flu so they stayed clear of the nursery and stayed close to mommy. (isn't Mason a cute little farmer boy?) You can read more about him on his mommy's blog; The Windy M
Next year Lindsay and I will be taking over the coordination of VBS. "Oh, Man" as Lindsay would say. Should be fun, but I am sure much more work than it was this year.

Yes such a fun time for the kids! I'm sure my boys will be sleeping with their bible buddies and the maracas again tonight. Or as William would say "Its a caraca...shake, shake, shake FIESTA!"

The days flew by but as with all good things...they must come to an end! On the way home the kids were talking about what next years theme might be!

Thank you Shan for your dedication to our church and to our children! Love you!

Looks like fun! Love the pictures, glad the kids got to go, even if just for the last couple of days.
You HAVE to check out Oriental Trading for next year's VBS. They have awesome VBS stuff! I am sure you have already done that, but, just in case. :)
