VBS



My girls have really enjoyed Vacation Bible School this week. Last year, one of Rachel's friends invited them to go with her. They had a great time last year and looked forward to going this year. I was glad to get a new CD with new music because we have listened to last year's CD so many times that I was getting tired of it.

Rachel took the "daily challenges" very seriously. One night's challenge was to do something brave. Two of the choices involved praying and she never wants to choose the praying options because she always prays anyway. That left the choice of "being brave and trying a new vegetable" or "being brave and inviting a friend to attend VBS." Vegetables? Yuck! She definitely went with the invite a friend to attend option. I interpreted that to mean we called one friend and if they couldn't come that was okay and she had fulfilled her daily challenge. She interpreted that to mean we keep calling people until we find somebody willing to go. After several calls, she found a friend who wanted to go. Way to go Rachel!

You will notice that I took many more pictures of Erin Joy. That is because she was a much more willing subject to photograph. Rachel also missed her outdoor game time because her group was in charge of preparing the snacks and I took of a lot of outdoor game pictures.

I put a video clip at the end of the little movie....notice the girls' great participation...or lack thereof...oh well, it was just a dress rehearsal...
