Ahhhh…
We’re breathing a sigh of relief now since tonight was the last night for VBS. Yes, this was a wonderful week, and we can tell that Avery really enjoyed her first year at VBS. But each night was a little more hectic. That’s why VBS lasts for only a week!
Mommaw Clark joined us tonight to experience this unique event.
What’s a night at VBS without singing, dancing and shouting?
After four days of listening to Mary’s stories about Jesus, Rabbi Rich Nye finally realized that all of the things she said about Jesus are true!
First up, we went to The Bead Bazaar. We thought Avery would enjoy making another necklace. The citizens in The Bead Bazaar told us about all of the uses for beads in biblical times, like currency, decorations on clothing and as part of rituals and ceremonies.
I think Avery was overstimulated from the week’s activities because she just wasn’t as into this as we thought she’d be. She threaded a few beads to sparsely decorate two necklaces, but then she gave up.
How many hands does it take to thread plastic beads on a necklace?
Here is one of the finished necklaces.
After visiting The Snack Shack, we spent our final shekel at The Hebrew Home. Here Avery made a tzedakah box for collecting offerings for church.
She loved using the markers to decorate the wood. Then Daddy carefully assembled the box. And we forgot to take a picture of the final product!
All in all, we had an awesome time this week. And I think Avery will have fond memories of VBS. Hopefully she’ll be this excited to go again next year!
