• Randomness from VBS

  VBS started each night at 5:30.
   Most of the VBS committee was there a lot of the day preparing....I went at 3 most days to help them.
  
   Jeremy getting all the clues ready to be placed at the right spots...
  
  
  Ruth Ann & Caroline making invisible clues that could only be read if they were colored over lightly.
  
  
  
  Ally preparing another wonderful and cute snack!!
  
  
  
  Each evening started with a skit....
   (So thankful my hubby doesn't always have a beard like that!! )
  Dan was King Saul and Samuel was David..
  
  
  
  Here comes Goliath....
  
  
  
  David winding up his sling.....
  
  
  
  One of the stations was the Scriptorium...this is where they learned a memory verse every night. (Dan & I were leaders for the yellow team!)
  
  
  
  Another station was the Historical Encounter tent. This is where they met the main character from the skit and learned a little more about his life.
  
  
  
  A cute snack....Davids sling and 5 smooth stones...well, the plates did have 5. Maybe someone at some off of here??
  
  
  
  Another station was Character Counts. This is were the team leaders had to take 15 minutes to teach about the character quality for that night.
  
  
  
  And the last station was the Obstacle Course. This one was lots of fun!
  
  
  
  Pulling themselves from one side to the other on a skateboard using rope.....two people would go...
  
  
  
  and then one of them had to take both skateboards back for the next two people. All the Obstacle Course activities were timed to see which team had the best score.
  
  
  
  Everyone loved the O.C. Friday night.....
   Ally giving directions...she took Pierre's place since he couldn't be there.
  
  
  
  They started out by doing jumping jacks over balloons....one balloon was popped from a previous team...
  
  
  
  ...then crawling over pool noodles.....
  
  
  
  .....running over a two sets of benches....
  
  
  
  .....walking over a "balance beam"....
  
  
  
  ...hopping through hula hoops.....
  
  
  
  ...and then diving thorough a hanging hula hoop (the first team through broke it ) and landing on a mattress....
  
  
  
  
  
  then they had to do a crab crawl back to start and do the whole thing all over again!! THey loved it! Some of the older guys did it 6 times!
  
   The second night our team won the dig/finding the artifact of the night...
  
  
  
  After every one found their artifact, we met back at our stations in the front yard and heard the times for each team on the Obstacle Course and had closing prayer.
  
  
  
   What a fun week...the committee did a SUPER job coming up with the whole program and everyone, even the leaders, had a great time!! So VBS 2009 came to a close!! I have lots more pictures, but I had to stop somewhere!!
