Our first big activity was VBS. Our overall theme this year was Search and Rescue. The girls loved every minute and had so much fun. I volunteered in the preschool music room again (I think this was year 6) and we had a blast too. Here's just a few pictures from the week.
Our Sunday School class spent a Saturday morning volunteering at Feed My Starving Children. We packed boxes of bagged food for children in various countries. It was lots of fun and we loved that our kids could come help as well. It's definitely something we'll do again.
We like to occasionally take the girls out for a fun breakfast. Our favorite place to go is the little donut shop down the street. They owners are super nice and they always decorate their donuts with the cutest designs.
Our next crazy busy week was music camp. This week is packed full of non-stop action. In 4 days the kids learn and perform an entire musical. They spend the mornings learning the songs and then get to do special interest classes in the afternoon. The cast spends many extra hours learning all their lines. Then the week ends with a performance for parents and friends. We always have so much fun....but it is tiring. In addition to helping as a leader, I also taught an interest class. I did Black Light Rhythm, which was basically using various instruments and doing rhythm activities in dark....everything glowed. Hannah has been waiting forever to be old enough to audition for a drama part. It was a lot of extra time, but she loved it and can't wait to do it again. Just a few pictures of all the fun.
It's been a few years since our church did a big patriotic program so they decided to do one last weekend. We combined orchestras with another local church and I think we had about 45 people total just playing instruments. We also had a good size choir and the small children't ensemble join us for one song too. Both girls sang and Nathan and I played. It was lots of fun and we played some pretty songs.
