Vacation Bible School

Lolli signed up for Vacation Bible School at Zion Lutheran Church this week. She went Mon-Fri from 9am til noon. At first Poppy was sad she couldn't go (ages 3 and up), but ended up taking it in stride! Lauren was a little nervous that Lolli wouldn't end up wanting to stay on the first day since it was a new environment with all new people, but Lolli was a champ! The theme was Pandamania and the atrium and church were all decked out in Chinese rainforest decor and pandas galore. The girls' favorite part was a vine-covered bridge they built in the entrance.

Lolli woke up excited for bible school every single day and was always eager to get in the car before it was actually time to go. She even went on Thursday when Molly was at her house! She learned several new songs, ate yummy fun snacks, played outside, made crafts, read books and learned about God. On Wednesday Poppy played at Gma and Gpa Bowen's while Lo was at VBS, then they picked her up and all went to Mozzi's, so Poppy totally felt included in the fun week!

On Sunday the VBS kids were invited to sing a couple of their songs at the 10:30 service. Lolli wanted to do it, so Zach, Lauren, Lolli, Poppy and Papaw Lucky all attended. There's a child care room available for kids under 3, so Poppy stayed in there. Lauren was a little worried she'd be scared because again, new environment and new people, but nope - Poppy's fearless! She had fun and won the hearts of the girls baby-sitting. Lolli was really good at being quiet during the service; she just drew and wrote on her little note pad. She went up for the Children's Message like a pro and when it was time to sing the songs, she took her spot in the front row! At first she looked a little nervous and seemed to forget she was up there to sing and dance, but after a while she got her groove going and did such a great job! So grown up :)

What a fun week!
