Saddle Ridge Ranch at Oak Ridge Baptist Church

I had the distinct opportunity this year to get to teach the 3-5 yr old class. I knew from the start this was going to be a crazy and fun week. Each night we had more children and a  little more chaos but we ended up having a blast. We were all tired by Friday night, but had a great time singing, playing and learning about God. I had 18 children a couple nights and no less then 15. It was pure craziness, but fun. I thank God for those who teach day care on a regular basis. Whooo, I was wore slap out. Here are a few pictures of the week. It was such a great theme and I loved decorating my room. Thanks so much to Shaw Heights Baptist Church in Sumter for allowing us to use their decorations. It made my room rockin.

This is the kids playing one of the games during recreation time. They had to use water bottles and shoot the cups off the wall. They loved playing this game. They were real cowpokes.

Here they are learning the theme song for Saddle Ridge Ranch.

This is one of the pictures of the class when most of everyone was sitting on the carpet. That didn't last long :)

 

Caleb thought he was the horse in this picture. He loved playing with this saddle.

I had to come up with a way for all the little ones to stay in line and together, so I took a green rope and tied bandannas on it and they each held onto it. Thank God for the rope.

Finally I was able to catch him long enough to get a picture.

If you look closely at this picture compared to one earlier it is hilarious. Especially if you look at Caitlyn's face. That is how I felt some nights.

Cale loved this big horse.

One of the  nights for recreation we were able to toss water balloons. It was hilarious to watch the kids throw their balloons and then the look on their faces when they burst. Caleb and Caitlyn were a pair.

We ended the week with a family night. We had hot dogs and hamburgers and we were going to swim but it stormed that night. So instead of swimming we went bowling. The kids had a great time as well as their pastor. See Dale pretending to know how to bowl :)

When it was all said and done we had a great week at VBS, 2 kids made decisions for Christ and lots of seeds were planted. It was great.
