Since Tanner is on the committee in charge of VBS, she'd worked on this year's event off and on since the week after VBS last year. Add in a new staff member at church who is super-organized and a great committee leader (our beloved Ellen), and this year was the smoothest it has gone in the 3 years we've been involved. And we heard it was the best one ever!
Every day, we had over 150 kids attend, with our biggest day being at 174. We also had tons of youth and adult volunteers, so everywhere you looked there were people in blue, as that is what the leaders wore everyday.
Since we all know that Hampton is a music fan, he adored it! He's too little to be in a class, but our wonderful nursery staff would take him and the other little ones out to hear the music. There was one song, "Superstar", that Hampton was in love with. Every day after we got home, he'd keep talking about being a superstar. Then, in the morning, he'd wake up and say "Today we're going to church to see Lucas and be a superstar!". He was quite the hit with his dance moves, too!
Harrison made so many friends, too, and lots of little girls are begging to babysit for free. We may just take them up on it!
It went by in a whirlwind, but we're glad to be part of another year at VBS. It's also making us look forward to the fall, when we start teaching the Wednesday night children again. But we also need a rest from the week, because we're still exhausted!
The theme of the week, plus the day's Bible verse. Each day, the children went home with a sheet like this, letting them know what to look forward to the next day.
The 3 amigos of VBS...Tanner, Lisa, and Ellen.

Ms. Pam, one of our sweet nursery workers. She and Ms. Amy fight over Harrison, and they keep offering to take him home.
