The Russo's

  I directed Vacation Bible School for the second year. The theme was Breaker Rock Beach - Standing Firm in a World of Shifting Sands. It was a really good theme and so important for these times.  News for the Week I did a snack survival kit for the volunteers  Buffalo Wild Wings donated food again this year The snack schedule for the week Grace and Mom did the opening rally skits and they did great Jules came a few nights We got props and decor from some churches again this year, so that was a huge help. I had to get Josh and Hudson to do games this year Mom did a great job in charge of decorating again and taught crafts.  Here are the crafts for the week, plus kindness rocks on the last day. My family was a big help during the preparation time and setting up. At first, I thought I didn't have enough volunteers for all the areas and the registration was low. It was discouraging, but God worked it out and the week went pretty smooth. We had 31 kids come.  We did...

We made a trip to Jennifer's house from June 28th- July 1st. My Dad came with us also. We went to Chuy's to eat on Friday night.  We stayed at an Air bnb that is owned by a friend of theirs. It was a cute studio apartment.  They let us use their pool. Hudson was practicing his casting.  Saturday morning we went to the creek area  The girls swam and the boys fished Hudson caught a few fish  The kids swam at the house that afternoon and Paw Paw joined them Jen and I took them to Urban Air to have a little fun We celebrated Nash's birthday on Sunday and Josh cooked pastalaya for their family and a few friends.  We had donuts and coffee on Monday morning at their house before we left. It was a nice trip and we had a good time, just hated to leave!  I had to show the rod holder that Hudson built to bring his fishing poles. He is so handy!
