They seemed to enjoy the camp; lots of friends were there. It went for the 3rd week of June from 8:45 till noon. It was nice for me to have a little break and just hang out with my Ian.
The Sunday after camp let out, the kids were all invited to sing the songs they learned during the week of VBS for Sunday service. I thought it would be a good learning opportunity for me to attend a different church for once in my life. Unfortunately, Gabe was a compete DUFUS during the kid's singing performance--running around, acting goofy, and basically doing anything but singing. I was so, so embarrassed. And MAD. I wanted to spank his butt right then, but instead I had him sit by me until the songs were over. The service was interesting. We had a lesson on Cain and Able, which was basically the Pastor telling his elaborated version of the story with some references to real life thrown in here and there. There was a lot of song-singing and sitting and standing. For the sacrament, everyone lined up in the middle of the rows, and waited for their turn to kneel on a long alter to receive the bread and wine, given to them by the Pastor. I was in the mother's room chastising Gabe and making sure Ian wasn't screaming, so we did not partake. I wish Erik would have come, but he was post-call so he was sleeping. We enjoyed cookies and punch after.
I'm hoping we get one more time in VBS before we leave Texas forever, the kids learned a lot and had a good time. And all free!
It looks like fun for the kids. I went to Baptist Bible School in elementary once or twice after school. It was fun singing Christian songs and getting pictures of Jesus. It seems to be more like Primary than our Sacrament meeting.
