VBS Night 5....

We've made it through night 5. We're almost there. The end is in sight. We've had fun but VBS is still undeniably hard work. I'm definitely ready for a rest.

Rain threatened to ruin our night but the weather cleared up just in time for VBS to start. We shuffled classes around before VBS started because it looked as though the rain was going to hang around but we ended up being able to move back outside before the night was over. Have you ever tried serving refreshments to a group of 35 kids at a time in a church foyer? It's not much fun. We are in such need of additional classroom space. Hopefully we'll be starting on our building addition soon so this won't be a problem next year.

Gospel Man and Bible Boy managed to escape the girl thugs thanks to Bible Boy's quick thinking and a can of pepper spray but their mission was foiled by Bible Boy's lying tongue. I wish everyone could see these videos. They are absolutely hilarious. I can't believe Darren convinced grown men (Davy Hamilton & James Watkins) to make absolute fools of themselves. In today's episode they wore their costumes to the Dairy Queen!

We had water games tonight which is always a kid favorite. We had two huge inflatable water slides, a slip-n-slide, and about 400 water balloons which sounds like a lot of balloons but when you've got 126 kids it's really not. They just don't go very far. Everyone had a great time.

The best news of all is that we've already had one parent call and ask if we could start picking her kids up every Sunday for Sunday school and church so we're already beginning to see results from VBS. God is so good!
