Art Camp

Last year the art teacher and the 1st grade teacher from the girls' school put on their first art camp.  The girls did it and had a blast and learned a lot.  So this year, we were sure to sign up again!  Last week was the first week, where Brenna went in the mornings and Brooke went in the afternoons.  Lucky for Brenna, this week, she gets to go to another round while Brooke is in softball camp.

Last weeks theme for the younger age group was Fairies and Castles, while the older group's theme was Medieval Times (similar but trying to make it 'cool' for the big kids ;) ).  They got to make wands and dragons and castles out of clay, they learned about DaVinci and Michealangelo and more. Of course there was a tie dye day where they got to tie dye a Tshirt.  I just love these teachers and what they do for our kids.  So.  much.  fun.

Vacation Bible School

Oh how we love our church's Vacation Bible School.  The girls just love love love it.  Everything from the music, to the activities, to the people, to the games, to the snacks.  Its just awesome.  This year, we had friends come with us and they loved it just as much I'm pretty sure!

They rotate stations and have storytelling, bible challenge (a favorite of Brooke's - so cool!), outdoor games, music, crafts, and more.  This years theme (the music, stories, bible verses) was Gangway to Galilee!

My only complaint is that it only lasts 5 days!  Haha
