V.B.S.

Welcome to Narnia a place of wonder and imagination.

Here are some pics from this last week of V.B.S. It would take to long to share everything that we did and all the help we had but here are a few. (I'm sure you can imagine how hard it is for me to squeeze pictures from a whole week into one post :)

After church on Sunday everyone helped to decorate for the next week.

We blew up 144 balloons to look like snow balls.

We made a forest out of Christmas Trees.

And we spread paper shreds to look like snow.

Monday morning we spread out all of the 'snow balls' to prepare for the kids that were coming.

And then we were greeted by the 'White Witch' (or Dawn).
She went around that morning and tried to tempt kids with her Turkish Delight. More than one child fell for her fateful trap.
Later Dawn shared how the Turkish Delight was like the temptations we are tricked with.For snacks that day we decorated little cakes.
I think that Antonia missed her mouth!

During the week we learned how the armor of God helps us fight against temptation.

The Belt of Truth.

Look at all of those belts!

The Breastplate of Righteousness.

Everyone had fun using the paint on their armor!

Aslan snacks!

On Wednesday we used these letters to put the kids names on their shields.

But before that we used the extra pieces to write our names.

The Shields of Faith.

The Shoes of Peace.

Thankfully the shoes didn't require any paint bottles!

Pile on Reid!

Here the kids are practicing their memory verse. Ephesians 6: 10 &11

The helmet of Salvation. (Oh no! More paint!)

The last piece of armor and the only piece used for defense.

The Sword of the Spirit.

Snow Cones!I think that this was everyone's favorite snack! It was the perfect treat for a hot day. We even ended up having snow cone fight. I would have taken pictures of that but it wouldn't have been safe for my camera!

On Friday the kids got dressed up in their armor to prepare for battle with the White Witch.

I think Kaleb was probably the cutest warrior.

Hmm... I think she is a little out numbered.
After we were done with V.B.S. for the day we had a Baked Potato buffet...
...and watched Narnia. (the movie)
Here is most of the whole group at the end of a great week.
There isn't space to say thank you to all of those involved, but it couldn't have been done without all of you!
