The Craziness that is Vacation Bible School

You haven't heard much from us because we have been in vacation bible school all week. We're learning all about the story of Joseph and it has been a lot of fun!

I'm a group leader for the pre-K kids - the Jewels. This is a picture of a picture but you can get the idea of our group from it... Can you tell what David's favorite color is?

And here is Emily with her group - the Pharaohs. My friend Bertha is leading her group so I know she has been in awesome hands all week! Emily has loved VBS because she knew so many of the kids in her group! She has loved spending time with one of her best friends Rebecca.

Here's our gang in front of one of the class rooms. Notice the fancy headbands they made... even Lia made one in nursery. Not sure where David's was at that time... Each day after the skit we meet in the classroom for discussion and we have been so impressed at how much the kids have learned!

Here is David learning the dances in the Music hall. It has been awesome watching the teen leaders. It is amazing how God has blessed some of them with such natural leadership skills and the kids love learning from them.

Here are all the kids dancing together in the gym.

And here are Pharaoh and his guard. Aren't the costumes great? There have been skits all week long telling the bible stories of Joseph. We have learned so much from these skits! There has been so much more detail in the skits than in the stories from our children's bibles... so each night we have gotten out our "real" bibles at home to read the story straight from the source.

More pictures to come!
