On the Boomerang Express

Well, another year of VBS has come and gone and what a "ride" it was! This year our theme was Boomerang Express "It all comes back to Jesus". Erin and I decided to go with this one because the theme was great and well put together thanks to Lifeway! We were blessed with so many willing to work and help decorate VBS this year and had a great turn out of kids!

It all started last Saturday with our float in the Watermelon Festival parade. The float won 1st place!!!
Here are the kids and I in front of our train that one of our talented guys built for us. It even blew steam through the pipe when we attatched it to a fog machine!


Jack and I before the parade.

The kiddos. The beads and masks were due to the theme of the parade was supposed to be Mardi Grai so we had to tie it in.

Our stage. The railroad crossing sign worked as well.

The last night we invited the families to come and watch the kids sing their songs and eat cake! Here is Michal Kate singing during the program

It was once again and awesome experience to be a part of. I know a lot of people don't like VBS but I have always said and firmly believe that if 1 child is touched by God's love throughout the week then it was all worth it. (Though the 86 child average for the week is AWESOME!)
