One of the highlights of the summer for our kids has always been VBS. Ever since Fone was old enough, he has been taking part in VBS in the community where I grew up. Although we moved to a new parish over eight years ago, we have continued attending VBS in this community, since our parish never had a VBS, until I was persuaded by our sweet summer seminarian to help lead one. It was such a great experience and I think we threw it together in just a couple weeks. We were so happy it turned out great and even happier that the next summer, our new DRE continued with VBS - we are now three consecutive years going strong!!! So amazing that saying "yes" to the VBS at our church would turn into a huge success and be enough to keep it going.
The program that our church chose this year is Son Treasure Island, and the first two days have been a blast so far. Throughout the day, the kids travel from music, snacks, games, crafts, prayer experience, and Bible stories. Three and a half hours later, the kids are fed both spirtually and physically, and skipping to the van at pick-up time singing their love for Our Lord! Such a blessing!!! Here is a video of some of my kiddos plus my niece and nephew, singing the theme song - "Treasure Forever"...
Our two oldest are of the "helper" age, so they are both helpers instead of participants - Fone is a crew leader and Mario is a game helper. Fone was also asked to help out with the skits. With his love for acting and being goofey, he was more than willing, gave it his all with practices, memorizing lines, and performances. What a blast it has been so far!!
Here are the first two days of video's of Fone's skit performances....
