VBS 2012 Aug 5-9th

This year Lily got to participate in her first Vacation Bible School! I have really been looking forward to this for her. I LOVED VBS growing up and then volunteering as a teen at my home church. Lily was a little apprehensive at first for us to leave her there, but once she saw that Andi Conyers was going to be her group helper she was fine with it :)

This transition was not an easy one for miss Penny :( She cried and stomped her feet and screamed in the parking lot of church "WE NOT LEAVIN MY LILY!!" I took her to McDonalds for ice cream and to play in the playland, but every minute she kept asking if it was time to pick up Lily yet. She cried everyday of VBS and didn't like that Lily was having so much fun without her. No worries she will be able to go next year!

Lily did really well at memorizing her memory verses everyday for VBS, but she didn't do well at reciting them for Ms. Andi when she got there. One of the other volunteers shared with me what Lily said about her memory verse when Andi asked her to say it.

            Andi: "Lily saw that you know your memory verse"
            Lily: "Oh No! My mom forgot to send my paper!"
            Andi: "but don't you know it in your mind?"
            Lily: "I think I lost my mind!"

LOL... Not really sure how the real conversation went because I wasn't there but that is how it was told to me!

Lily learned a lot of new song and dance moves that she came home and taught to Penny. She learned how to play Duck Duck Goose and the Spider Web game.

I am so very thankful for all of the volunteers that make VBS possible! Lily loved it and is already looking forward to next year!
