VBS

VBS was last week and Riley had a Ball!!!  I was so excited when he would wake up every morning and ask if he got to go to VBS again, and then Cheer when I would say yes!  And yes, because of that on Friday I made a big deal about telling all his friends bye, and his teachers Thank you because it was the last day of VBS.  The theme this year was Sky: Everything is possible with God.  There were so many cute crafts, games, and snacks I can't even begin to list them all.  Thankfully, my part in VBS this year (other than decorations) was being a photographer!  So instead of telling you about it I'll just show you!!  (Warning: There's a LOT of Pictures, and this is only a Fraction of the ones I took!!
