I decided to do a backyard VBS and wanted to do waterplay as an activity so we bought a slip and slide. The kids had a good time on it! And bonus, it's so easy to set up even I can do it. Anything to beat the heat while we are outside.
I was really happy with how our backyard VBS went. First of all, it was hot, but it was also so rewarding. The first day we had 8 kids, the second day 11 or 12 kids, and then back down to 8. Every day we did a Bible lesson, craft, play, and ate lunch together.
Day 1: Jesus wants us to be fishers of men. Made tie dye shirts, ate sloppy joes.
Day 2: Jesus wants us to serve Him and others. We washed feet like Jesus did. Planted flowers in pots, and ate hotdogs.
Day 3: Jesus taught Zaccheus a better way-to do what's right. We made a fish craft, and ate pizza.
I won't post too many picture from VBS, but here are a couple of my kids.
Not the greatest pictures to show how it went, but it was neat. Our kids were very excited each day and I realized that the effort was worth it.
Grandma D has been teaching Rachel's Bible class on Sunday morning and one Sunday they did the Woman at the Well. Rachey wanted to make a "real"well that could hold water so this is what we came up with. She was thrilled.

| Reading books never gets old. :) |

| Rachel read about half this book to Zane and then I think I finished it. She did good! |
 |
| More baking! |
We had a wonderful trip to Sargent recently! The kids got to fish!
Such a pretty evening on the dock.
I tried a panoramic picture which didn't work. It's very beautiful, but this makes it looks like there is a fork in the creek and there is definitely not. haha

| Rachey's fish! |

| Zane's fish! |

| This boy definitely takes after his Daddy. He loves fishing and didn't want to stop. |
