VBS

Well, I've been consumed with preparations for VBS the past couple weeks. I was in charge of the decorations this year. The story line is the wanderings in the Sinai desert. There's not much to work with in a desert, but there are oasis! So the past couple months I've been cutting leaves (just short of 400) and in the last couple weeks straightening wire hangers (for the leaves...so almost 400 also). We made about 25 palm trees from carpet tubes, wire hangers and green paper. We didn't get a lot of help setting up, but the few who came got it done! Thanks so much for those of you who helped!

The weather turned from hot and humid to cool and dry this weekend. What a relief!
We decided to have a little campfire and cook hotdogs and make s'mores.
The boys just ate chocolate though. :)
