Vacation Bible School

Last week Dane had Vacation Bible School at church.  He was very excited about it!  I was a little worried when I thought about the fact that he was one of the youngest and possibly the youngest kid attending.  You have to be 4 years old by August 1st.  Dane will turn 4 on July 21st.

Vacation Bible School was Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-noon.  Monday morning I checked him in and they told me where to take him to meet his group.  All of the preschool groups were meeting in the same area on the first day.  Dane was so excited when he saw Delaney.  Delaney was a group assistant this year.  We realized that Delaney was not the assistant in Dane's group though.  Neither Delaney or Dane were very happy about this.  Aunt Amy took Trey down to his group and stopped to talk to one of the volunteers on her way.  Delaney had requested to work with Dane's group in the first place, so they just let Dane move over to her group and they were both very happy!  Once he was in her group he waved good-bye to me and told me he'd see me later.  

I got a good workout with my sisters during the time he was in Vacation Bible School.  Amy, Katie, and I walked 3-4 miles everyday during Vacation Bible School and then I had time to run a couple of errands each day as well.  Reese babbled during our walks and checked everything out.

Everyday when I picked Dane up he was very excited to go back the next day.  Tuesday he got a bag to collect food for Kingdom House.

Tuesday evening I was hosting the Teachers' Bunco group at my house so I left Kirkwood after picking Dane up from Bible School.  Dane and Reese were going to stay with my parents for the evening.

Dane ended up going with Aunt Amy and Uncle Darnel.  

They played at the park and got snow cones.

He is always so excited for a sleepover.

I got back to Kirkwood Wednesday morning and picked Dane up from Vacation Bible School.  Day 3 of hanging out with his cousins in the afternoon.  They left about 3:00 because Delaney had a sports camp for a couple of hours.  Dane then asked if they could come spend the night at Mama and Papa's house.  So, they had another sleep over.

Watching a movie before bed

Thursday Dave came up to Kirkwood and we met friends to go to the Kenny Chesney Concert.  Taylor came over and played with Dane and Reese, fed them dinner, and put them to bed.

Friday was the Finale at Vacation Bible School and they celebrated by having a snow cone truck come to the parking lot.  

This was kind of backwards but we hadn't had lunch so we ate our snowcones, then headed to Pretzel Boys for lunch.  After lunch Reese fell asleep so I took him back to Mama and Papa's house for a nap and Dane and I headed to the pool with Aunt Amy and the kids.

Dane had a blast floating in the lazy river with Delaney, Trey, and their friends.  He went down the slide..many, many times.  He was really not ready to leave, but I promised him we will go back again.

Friday night we watched Delaney play softball, then loaded everything from the week in the car and headed home.  The boys were both asleep in a heartbeat and slept late on Saturday morning.  

It was a busy, fun week.  I am sure Dane is missing his cousins already.  Dane told me he had a "super fun" week and that he really wants to go back again.
