VBS and Camp

So last week we had VBS at church. It was a busy week and I haven't done anything (around the house or blogging)! Our church has VBS from age 3-12th grade. Believe it or not we had 22 kids come for the middle/high school class! This year was the largest turn out for that age group! Our theme was "Is He in you", we borrowed it from gatorade. Each night we would give the kids a "token" to remind them of what we talked about that night. Thursday we gave them each a box to decorate (this was our VBS craft) and to put all their tokens in. We played Let's Make a Deal each night to get the night started, played "gym" games, other random youth games, ate snack, etc. We do all the stuff the younger kids do, but better!!! We had fun but it whooped our whole family. Anna & Lizzy stayed home with Grandma Teresa and Aunt Joleen came over one night with Casey & Kelsey to watch the girls! Emma had so much fun and developed a new sleeping in habit! Emma has always been that kid that would wake up at 7:00am no matter what time you put her to bed. My kids usually go to bed around 7:30-8:00pm, but we didn't get home from VBS until 10:00pm most nights! Emma actually slept in until 9:15 Thursday morning! I guess it finally caught up with her!!!

Jody and the youth are leaving for Snowbird (summer camp) early Monday morning. I just decided that I am going to drive up Thursday morning and drive back with the crew Saturday so we can spend the 4th of July with Jody! This week is the week our youth are always gone at either summer camp or on a mission trip (we flip each year) so it's been a while since we've spent the 4th with Jody/Daddy! We are excited to go, but I'm not excited to be home by myself or to pack! It's about 7 hours from here, not too bad of a drive considering last year I drove to Venice, FL, close to 12 hours!!!

I borrowed my mom's camera cord too so I'll be able to post some pics to my blogs, better late than never!!!
