Vacation Bible School

The first week of August, our church held Vacation Bible School--the Son Harvest County Fair! We learned about the fruit of the Spirit and had fun with the farm and growing fruit theme. Eli and Silas both had a blast, and I had fun leading the music (but was quite exhausted and sore by the end of the week!). We also brought two of our neighbors, Will and Connor, along.

Will, Eli, and Connor were in the preschool class, the "great grapes."


Here is Eli singing "Old MacDonald had a farm...and on that farm there was a chicken..."


Yes, I enjoyed the strawberries and cream they had for snack one day...it was all in preparation for being one of the judges for the pie-baking contest at the end of the week. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it!!


Here are Silas and Steve petting the goat, Rocket. Church members also brought in cows, a sheep, chickens, rabbits, and an old tractor for the kids to enjoy.


While Silas wasn't old enough to be in the preschool class, he had a lot of fun during the music time and playing with the animals and other kids in the nursery. Joel is always a good sport and lets Silas tackle him.


The kids did a performance at the end of the week which included some songs. Silas got to sing on stage with Eli's class--they sang "I've Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down in My Heart." Both of them did a great job doing the motions and were fun to watch.

Love all of the pictures from Vacation Bible school (Eli and Silas looked like they were having a blast!) but I must admit my favorite is you and your belly!! Amy you look fantastic!! I will admit I am happy to have my little guy here but there is something SO special about having him in your belly -- I know I kinda miss it! I really hope you are feeling good and getting to enjoy these last few weeks of being pregnant! Again -- You look fantastic!! :)

Hey Diks, great seeing your pictures. Amy, you look great, hope your feeling OK. The boys all look good, tell them I said HI! To bad your husband doessn'r rate a picure of two,, we miss him too. I was looking at the picture of young man #3 and it reminded me of Amy's pictures of Nicklas. It's amazing to look at them. God is so good! Take care, and you will be in our prayers.
