Grace Community Church put together an online VBS experience with backpacks for the participants and Heather hosted a cousin VBS for all of us this week. It was lots of fun.
The first day our craft was to color backpacks. The theme for the week was Rocky Railway.
The general schedule was to sing along with the video for the day, then learn about the Bible buddy. Next we had snack and craft time, then watched the rest of the video for the Bible story.
Heather set out coloring pages with the Bible buddies each day for the kids to enjoy during any periods of waiting. Mary also liked coloring hers during the videos.
We quickly learned the songs and had fun dancing and singing along.
Birdseed Rice Krispies treats to go along with our Bible buddy the second day, Ava the red tailed hawk.
The third day our craft was tie dyeing VBS shirts. It was a bit crazy, but fun.
Mary enjoyed naming the colors on her foot.
It was exciting to see the results of our work when we arrived the next morning.
We wrapped things up Thursday in our new shirts.
Our Bible buddy for the day was Finn the rainbow trout, so Heather had blue Jello and colored goldfish for the snack time.
Mary enjoyed exploring the Jello, but I think she thought it was a bit hard to deal with. She ended up mostly just eating goldfish.
We managed to squeeze in for a group picture before swimming to finish things off. It was an unusual experience for Mary's first VBS, but it was a lot of fun and she really enjoyed it, probably more than she would have enjoyed a big VBS at this point. We were excited to be around for this fun opportunity.
