Markie and Lizzy both have camps this week. Markie did the first three days of Vacation Bible School at our church, he seemed to enjoy it once I convinced him to stay, he had some separation issues when I dropped him off. Anyways, Markie was talking last night about how Jesus walked on water, and yesterday he was alone in his room on his bed and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was praying quietly in his head. Very nice, however he is unable to complete the last two days of VBS. Yesterday, when I picked up Markie and Alex they had "lost" Alex and could not find him. They did not know if he was even in the church. The especially upsetting part of the whole situation was that there was no intensity in the search for Alex, like it was not really that big of a deal because he always "runs off". He could have been anywhere, but he was finally found in the bathroom. Needless to say, Markie and Alex are not going back if they can't keep the kids safe, forget it. It is a real bummer, it is hard to express in this blog just how upsetting it was to have Alex lost. Equally upsetting the lack of security and safety for the kids at VBS.
Lizzy is loving Science Camp. It is 8:30 - 3:30 all week. Did you know how the frisbee flying disc got its name? From WIlliam Russell Frisbee, a pie baker who put his name on the bottom of his pie pans. After his pies were eaten, kids would play catch with his pie pans! They are learning how to be creative and invent things as well as about recycling and helping the environment. Did you know that one gallon of motor oil can contaminate up to one million gallons of water. That's why we must dispose of it properly. Oh, in her picture she is a super hero, that was the dress up theme of the day for Tuesday.
