VBS is always a highlight of our summer! Our small church puts on an incredible program each and every year, however, this year was by far my favorite! The setting was back in the 1900's, Gold Rush time, and the focus was searching for TRUE GOLD, Jesus Christ. :) I loved the curriculum, the drama, the settings/decorations and our costumes! Fun, fun, fun! An additional bonus each year is having my niece and nephew stay for the entire week here at the ranch. Ethan and Kaylynn had a great time, even though Ethan said he thought the songs were kind of "kiddie"...oi, he's growing up! :) He's not the only one...since I typically teach the younger grades, this will be the last year I have Kaylynn in my class...boo hoo!
