VBS

Stella is participating in Vacation Bible School at a church in West Des Moines, it is a huge church and the VBS has a huge turn-out as well. This is the same church that I volunteered once a month at last school year to lead a mommy and me music class. Anyhoo, I brought my camera today to take some pics to show Mike just how large the VBS is! A far cry from the bible school we had back in Maloy where there were probably 10 kids total!!!!!!
I was upstairs getting a photo and trying to zoom in to get Stella and Hannah. Stella is in the 4 year old class and Hannah is with the 5's. At the end of each day the 4 and 5 year olds gather together in the gym and sing songs. Stella is near the right hand bottom in a turquoise top, Hannah is hard to see, she is near the left hand side next to a boy in a blue shirt. A shot of the gym where the 4's & 5's gather. There are probably 10 sections of each age group. Then the 1st grade-6 graders gather upstairs at the end of each day. Each section has 4 teachers, the church needs about 2000 volunteers to help with VBS! Crazy, but the kids have so much fun! :)
The last song they do each day is done with sign language.

Hannah and Stella at the end after VBS today. :)
