Field Notes #27: Blast Off!

Today was the first day of Vacation Bible School at HCUMC! I had a fun first day with "Galactic Blast." Never one to shy from committing to a theme, I got a boys' size 8 Buzz Lightyear t-shirt for $5 at Wal-Mart, cut off the sleeves and squeezed it over a t-shirt that actually fits. I'm in charge of games, and I quickly learned that although the 9- t0 11-year-olds had fun with "Creation Station Relay" and "Planet Toss," trying to coordinate 3- to 5-year-olds for a relay race is like herding cats. But the playground is fun, and I'll adjust my approach tomorrow anyway.

Here are two of my favorite pictures from today. I'll put together a slideshow once VBS is over.
