Indiana Bones and the Search for Lost Truth!!!

Yes, that is our theme for VBS (Vacation Bible School...for those of you that weren't sure) this week. The title being Dave's idea...guess who Indiana Bones is??? I don't have any pictures of him yet in his "get-up", but I hope to post some soon. His side-kick is our good friend Frank, and his title this week is Dr. E.V. Lution....get it??? :) Dr. Bones is out to prove to Dr. E.V. Lution that the world was created in 6 literal days by God. Last night was our first night, and it seemed to go very well. I wasn't out there much as I now have a child (Alayna) who has been running a fever around 103, since Sunday night. Yes, I needed more to do, in case you were beginning to think I just sat around all day, watching "What Not To Wear" on TLC, or Paula Deen on the Food Network. The fever is Alayna's only major symptom. Some slight congestion, but nothing else. This fever stuff has been going around, and I've talked to a lot of people who's kids have had this. What I'm hearing is that it's short-lived, so I'm praying that's the case for her. She doesn't "act" too sick, but the fever won't break. Motrin does help.

Okay, back to VBS...I get side-tracked, sorry. Dave, and many people in our church have been working feverishly (no pun intended) to get ready for this week. They never do things on a small scale...and I'm learning not to say "if you don't get that part done, no one will notice." Silly me...DAVE will notice!

So, below are some pictures of what took place in our yard yesterday afternoon, while everyone scrambled to finish getting things together for last night.

Here is the flyer (designed by "yours truly") we sent out to all the kids.

This is the entrance to the cave. The tarp is only there to protect it from the rain they were calling for yesterday, but thankfully we did not receive. I will post pictures later of it without a tarp. The inside of the cave is very very dark, and they have black lights set up. There is also a revolving door that Dave and another kid built that the kids turn and it takes them to the other side of the cave. Like I said "nothing on a small scale."

Julie standing at the archaeological digging pit. After the kids exit the cave they dig for buried fossils, dinosaur bones, etc. in the pit.

The rope bridge that leads them to the cave.

Our gigantic meeting tent. The church purchased this a few weeks ago, and we are so thankful to have it. It will serve many uses for our little country church.
