058-62/365 - Son Rock Kids Camp! [For July 26th-30th, 2010]

Vacation Bible School (VBS) at Whidbey Presbyterian! =D This was my second time doing VBS. Last year, I participated in skits and took photos here and there. This year, I played more intricate roles: Assisting in leading 4th-6th graders and being the "official" photographer all week! I also made video slideshows for each day, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed! That's why we do it. =) 

For those few readers who aren't familiar with VBS, it's basically a "mini-camp" for kids, lasting a few hours each day, usually for a week. There area few different stations (i.e. story time, games, etc.) that we bring the kids to. There's also a theme every year (this year was "Son Rock Kids Camp," which was a camping/outdoors theme), as well as a daily Bible lesson. Cute, and really fun for the kids!

95% of the time, I was the photographer, but I did have complete control over both my group and photographing all the groups on the last day... Or I thought I had complete control... Here was my Facebook status from that day: 

Today in VBS, I accidentally hit one of my kids with a line drive during wiffle ball. He cried :(. But, he forgave me for it, and we high-fived! =) However, in retribution for his fallen brother, another boy decided to punch me with a chocolate milk container in a very bad spot... Somebody didn't get the forgiveness memo. -_-!! Haha > < !!!

Devastating!! -_- However, outside of that tearful incident, my group seemed to have the most fun that day, partly at my expense… Haha. I paid the price, but it all worked out in the end! =P

Big thanks to Lora, Nicole, and everyone else who helped make VBS possible, and trusted me enough to put children’s lives in my hands! Haha.

Here are a few photos from the week (top to bottom: 057-061):
