VBS at Antioch Baptist Church in White Cross, NC 2012

All the boys have been at vacation bible school all week. They go from 8:30 to 11:30 in the mornings. It is a sweet old country church just a couple miles down the road. They loved it. They got to see some old friends they haven't seen in awhile from our old elementary school and friends that live out by us that we have just not seen in awhile. I love the small country feel. 
The best was the first day when we showed up, and an older gentlemen that I didn't even know said there's those Jacobson boys!  They all seem to know the boys and remember them from White Cross basketball and the White Cross Tractor Pull.  They are all so sweet. It reminds me of back when I was growing up in Grand Meadow.
The boys have talked about what they have learned this week, when I pick up them up and they share with me what they have made. It's so neat and heart-warming to see their relationship grow with Christ. I think the sweetest is when Jordan talks about how Jesus "potects me and I don't have to be afraid of anything." He thinks Jesus is like superman and has superpowers. What better comparison for a three year old to understand!
I had given them the option of going or not going and at first they didn't really seem to enthusiastic about it, until one of the older members of Antioch had stopped by last week to see if they were coming. They changed their minds and I had said, "since school was starting on monday, you could just go three days; monday, wed, and friday. They agreed. After the first day on Monday, they changed their minds again. They have wanted to go back everyday. I guess it's also a good morning wake up practice for school next week because 6:30 is going to come mighty early! I am glad they are having so much fun. I am also for the quiet time mommy is getting this week!
Charlie left for DC today and he is gone until friday evening. Looks like his traveling may be starting up again...great just in time for school to start!
I am hoping to grab some pictures at VBS the last day on friday when they usually have a big wrap up with a luncheon.
