Vacation Bible School

Last week Olivia and I spent all week at VBS at our church! I was a teacher for 2nd grade and so Olivia got to go too! Since VBS is usually only open to school age children she was technically in childcare, but her age group really got to participate in a lot of the activities! I would see her every morning and afternoon in our rallies and it was the cutest and most inspiring thing ever! Just to see her get SO into it was moving, I actually had tears in my eyes the first day! (I know pregnancy hormones!!!!) But, she was singing, dancing, yelling and doing all the motions to the songs! It was great to see all of the kids get into it, but particularly exciting to see Olivia! The theme of VBS was Outrigger Island, so everything was island/beach themed, which is right up Liv's alley!

On our first day

Here is our best at crazy hair day... not very crazy I know... but it was the best I could do with the time we had and a somewhat unwilling child. She's not one to go too crazy with anything, much less her hair! :) By the way I just realized I up loaded a very boring picture of her hair... it was a little more exciting than the picture shows! Liv also thought it appropriate to make a silly face to go with her "crazy" hair!
On our last day I tried to capture her excitement and moves on the camera, but was not very successful... Her best friend Kennedy is taking a rest it appears! VBS can really wear a girl (and a mom) out!!!
Here is a decent picture of Olivia getting down!

Although it was a long and tiring week we both had a great time! It was my first time to ever work, much less "teach" at VBS, and I found it very rewarding! I had some really great kids in my class and will remember them forever! And Olivia absolutely loved it! I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the fact that Kennedy was in her class so they were together all day! But she had a lot of fun and keeps asking to go back! We are so thankful to be a part of such an amazing church and have met such wonderful friends!
