June 16th-22nd

Our VBS "Missions Trip" began this week...

 Saturday:

Day 6 of Cousin Camp-

Pancake Breakfast and Kentucky "Drop-Off"

**********************************************

 

Sunday:

After making Father's Day gifties

with my K-1 class at church...

(The kiddos decorated foam cola can covers

and gave their daddies each a can of pop

with THIS sleeve cover) 

...we headed to Dollywood

with one of our favorite families

and had a day of fun!

*******************************************

Monday:

It was a good day to get caught up on the laundry

and defrost the freezer.

The kiddos wanted to speed up the defrosting process,

so they all grabbed hammers and began

chinking away the ice.

This was SERIOUS fun for

Little Wild Man-

he worked on it until dark

and when he got up the next morning...

********************************************

Tuesday:

More laundry and household chores,

then we headed over to my parents for a 

"mini reunion"

with my brother and his new bride.

They live in New Jersey now,

which is about 12 hours north of us,

so it was nice to eat and and spend time with them.

********************************************

Wednesday:

Let the VBS "Missions Trip" begin!

Let me explain-

Our church,

in conjunction with 2 other churches,

is hosting a mini-VBS 

at a local inner city park.

On Wednesday,

we held a block party to promote the event.

It was fun,

and it seemed to work,

because on Thursday, we had 50 kiddos 

from the community attend the event...

***************************************

Thursday and Friday:

More VBS!

I am in charge of worship and the 

"opening" of each night,

and, so far,

are cruddy sound system is holding up!

What I am REALLY enjoying about this event 

are these things:

1.  Getting to work with other people from other churches

2.  Seeing my kiddos interact with kiddos

whose backgrounds are very different from their own 

3. Giving bear hugs to all the cutie-patootie kiddos

who are coming to the event!

I am pretty excited to see

what God has in store 

for us and the kiddos as the event 

comes to a close on Saturday...
