POWER LAB!!!

Power Lab is our vacation Bible school. Today was the last day of five. It was a blast! I was a crew leader. I was in charge of 3 kids for 3 hours every night of Power Lab. They did pretty good. Although, my one boy was a bit of a handful. But all in all it was a very good experience. One that I am very glad is over. Only because it wore me out! They got the crew leaders into it almost as much as the kids. We sang. We danced. We made crafts and did experiments. We even walked on water!!!
The walking on water was part of the Bible Blast class. It's where the Bible comes alive! The "water" was a mixture of water and corn starch. The concoction was about 4 inches thick but only the top inch was liquid. The bottom 3 inches was this ooey gooey stuff. We were talking about when Peter walked on the water and was fine until he took his eyes off Jesus. Our mission was to go fast over the "water" and not take our eyes off Jesus. If we did we'd start to sink. And that stuff was so sticky, that once you started to sink, you had to have help getting unstuck!
Then there was the Wacky Crafts where we made a goo in a beaker, key chains, bracelets and signed our names to soccer balls to send to South Africa. Cinema Science where we watched a cute little film and talked about what it had to do with the days "power point". And Hyperspeed games, where we made REALLY big bubbles, learned to work together(got really wet!), and saw what happened when you put mentos into a bottle of diet coke. YIKES!
Now I mentioned "Power Points". Power points are our theme for the day. These were our 5 power points and the friends that helped us remember them.



This is Fizz. He is bubbling over with thankfulness.
Power point: Jesus gives us the power to be thankful! A-HA!!!
(we had to say a-ha everytime someone said the power point...it was fun!)

So after all of it, after 15 hours of being in charge of 3 kids that aren't mine and getting MY kids to bed 2 hours late for 4 nights strait which makes for cranky babies, I STILL can't wait until next year! It was AWESOME!!!!
