VBS #2

Our neighbors invited the girls to their church for another week of VBS which ended yesterday. The theme was "The Big Apple" and they seemed to enjoy it! I got a few pix from the end of week fun fair. Layla performed for all the parents by signing 3 bible verses - very cute :) and ella played the part of Mary in a play and washed Jesus's feet! both girls were very proud of themselves . .as was i!
