Its Friday morning and everyone's getting ready to leave for the zoo. Of course, with six girls in the house some of us have to get ready super early: therefore, we have time to write before we leave.
Wednesday night resulted in the same number of guests. All five teens helped act out the Bible story. Mac and B demonstrated what happens when two friends aren't willing to forgive by B tripping Mac. Megan, Amelia, and Jackie acted out the parable where the king forgave a huge debt to his servant but that servant couldn't forgive a small debt to his friend.
Since we finished handing out all the fliers in the surrounding neighborhoods, we had free time Thursday morning. We first drove around Oceanside's Harbor and then walked out onto a nearby pier. On the pier we enjoyed watching surfers test the waves and a group of dolphins that swam by. After that we headed back to the Harbor to do a little tourist shopping. Then it was on to the beach. Only Pastor Flunker, Amelia, and Megan went into the freezing water but everyone still enjoyed walking the beach.
After freshening up, we headed back to Ascension for the last day of VBS. We finished our art projects and completely filled in the background to the huge paper. To end the night we set up a carnival fishing game (the one where the kids put the hook over a wall and they reel in a prize). The kids loved it, both the game and the surprise toy. All the kids were given glow sticks before they left for the night.
Well, that about sums it up for the last couple of days. Stay tuned for events from the zoo and Sea World. See you all on Sunday...
