Vacation Bible School

This year the theme is "Shake it Up - Where Kids Carry Out God's Recipe".  They are having fun.

It is a little bit different for Jacob and Layne this year as they are in a "tween" group.  They were really excited that they got to go to the 3rd floor of the church - the Teen area.  It really is cool up there.  They have a game room with a pool table and ping pong.  They have individual classrooms / rooms for all grades 6 through 12th with TVs, couches, learning centers.  They are definitely feeling like the "big kids" this year. 

Joshua is having a great time in his group.  His group leader send a video chat to us by email.  He got to "see" her before going on Monday and that really helped.  He was singing some of the songs already this evening in the car on the way home.

They had a great day. 
VBS from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 
Grandma picked them up with a picnic lunch for all of them.  She even took orders.  Jacob had a plain ham sandwich, Layne had turkey and cheese, and Joshua had a cheese sandwich.  Not sure what Grandma had today.
They ate their lunch at the park in Duluth with the fountains and they were able to run around in the water with their swimsuits on and be silly.
I guess the sprinkler park wasn't enough, so they came back to Grandma's and then went to the pool, too.

Matthew had to work late tonight and I don't seem to ever be able to leave before 5:00 p.m. so I stopped at Bucca di Beppo and brought dinner for all of us.  Matthew had some leftovers when he got home.

Here are the boys last night on the sofa with the iPod Touch.  You would think they wouldn't be able to breathe if they weren't able to be near the iPod Touch.  It looks like Joshua is asleep - but he is really concentrating on that SpongeBob SquarePants movie.
