Randy & I were family leaders at VBS this year. Whew! It was tiring! The theme was Joseph's Journey: From prison to palace & all the costumes & stations were themed based off Egypt. There was a marketplace where the kids got to visit each place (like brickmaking, barbershop/salon, food shop, enbalming station, jewelry making, etc). The kids really had a wonderful time. We had Kaleb over to stay the night one night with us & we took him each night. This was my first experience getting 3 boys up & ready in the morning all by myself!
Each night we had "family time" where we told the story for the evening & there was an object lesson each night about how God gives us hope & a future. Eli was thrilled to be in his Daddy's "family".
Our family name was the Pithoms. And as luck would have it, our family was literally all family with the exception of little Riley. He was so stinkin' cute too!
We visited Joseph each night too... The first night he was in prison (& i hate that i didn't get a photo because it was an AWESOME set up built into the basement of the church building. Can we say, creepy?!) Then each night after, he was in the palace....
The kids got their names printed in Heiroglyphics..... which was pretty cool....
And the brickmaking was eye opening. I can't imagine how the Hebrew slaves in Egpyt had the patience to make each brick in such a time consuming way. 
THere were outdoor games to keep the kids cool....
And I think Jackson's favorite activity was making this headband. He still wears it.... in public...
However, the biggest hit of all was the food shop.
Oh, Eli was in heaven!!
And i have to admit that it was very yummy. I went out that week & bought my very own bag of pomegranite seeds! Yummy!It was a very busy & time consuming week, but the kids had so much fun & learned so much that it was so very worth it! Until next year.....
