Vacation Bible School

This past week, we had Vacation Bible School at church. I volunteered to help in the nursery, which of course was where Mackenzie was. She got to socialize with other children while she learned about Jesus, which was wonderful. Hopefully being in the nursery for a week straight will help her out on Sundays. :-) We'll see. She got to do crafts, eat snack, sing songs, do fingerplays, and meet some new friends. It was a great experience for both of us and a good change of pace from our daily routine.

Here are some pictures of different activities during the week.

Having some juice during snack time.

Painting with Grandma--have to make sure we have the paint smock on first. "Oh, no! I don't want to get it on my hands Mama!" This is what Mackenzie was thinking.

Carrying her lunchbox and all ready for school.

Playing with all the toys in the nursery.

We took all the little ones outside to play in the water. Of course, this was Mackenzie's favorite activity because it involved water.

The mission for the week was to collect tube socks for troops overseas. As you can tell, there was a great turnout.

Last day of VBS. It wore Mackenzie out so much that there wasn't one day during the week that we got home and she was awake. Within 2 minutes of being in the car each day, she was asleep and took about 3 hour +naps. That's a long time for her. VBS was from 9-12, but of course we had to be there earlier to greet the kids and wait til parents picked them up to leave. She was tired, but had a great time and did a great job!
