VBS ended tonight at church and it was a long week.  I was so excited for another year and thought it would be easier with the kids being older, but didn’t expect some bad asthma trouble for Ashley, so it was tough.

She was on my lap or glued to my side for at least part of the first 4 nights.  The last night, the asthma was gone and she did great and loved it!  She was so exhausted from not sleeping well at night that she fell asleep in my lap during the message one night.  Poor thing!  We finally got the medicine for the nebulizer and started a preventative inhaler to help prevent future attacks from coming on!

As far as VBS, this year I led the 2nd grade group (which was a great group of kids!) and helped lead music.  Our room was ancient Egypt.

After Ashley’s nap on my lap the 4th night, we hung out with Jace during game time and rested a bit more.

The last night was a great chance to share the gospel with my group as we talked about God’s promise to Abraham.  We also talked a lot about what Jesus did on the cross for us.  The kids were so attentive and did a great job answering questions.

During the main session, Dr. Hoyle (our speaker for the week) did a quiz competition and Sage was chosen as one of the 10 contestants.  She did a great job and buzzed in and answered 5 questions correctly!!  I was so proud of her!

We ended the night on the huge slip and slide.  It was a bit chilly, but the kids didn’t seem to mind!  I, on the other hand, was freezing from getting drenched in the water games earlier in the evening.  (It was so much fun though!)
