Vacation Bible School - Riverside Baptist Church

Riverside Baptist Church is doing Vacation Bible School this week. Last year I taught 1st and 2nd graders. Besides the fact that that age is the wildest of the entire bunch -- it is really difficult to do the pictures AND teach. The only way for me to get away to take photos of all of the kiddos was to work in the kitchen.

For those of you who know me.... you probably just spit your drink on the computer screen. WHAT? Joni in the kitchen?! You've got to be kidding!

No worries. They don't actually let me cook or anything. I've iced cupcakes, washed dishes, filled cups with koolaid AND quizzed the little ones about their favorite animal at the ZOO (tonight's snack was "zoo food" since the theme is Big Apple Adventure.  NY City  - Bronx Zoo - Get it?! ☺ LOL!

Everybody say YES!

Yes to VBS!

VBS 2011 -

TONIGHT we had 90 children attend VBS and 46 Adults working it! Not bad for a town of 425!

Kids love the vacation bible schools.  The challenge for me is that I have a blended family situation and the times for ours dont work that well.

Joni--I love the collage---I really do, but the little blond girl is beautiful and looks like she belongs to you.  Are you sure she's not a relative?

P.S.  Nice job with the cupcakes!!

I used to love VBS with my son. Always enjoyed it and I did make brownies, etc. What a cute collage, Joni.

Joni, sounds like it is very rewarding helping out with the Vacation Bible School.     You don't cook?    I like to dust my stove too!
