We always do the Lifeway VBS theme so this year it was "Boomerang Express." So this day the toy of the day was trains. SW really had fun playing with them. Luke had set up an awesome track for them.

Since our theme was related to a train one of our crafts for the day was to make an engineer's hat and I gave the kids a bandana to wrap around their neck. You can see part of the train track that I made outside of our classroom.

Cameron always wanted to take a picture with LC...in fact LC was very popular this week...everyone wanted to sit by her...except her brother of course!

The kids enjoyed riding these tricycles on the preschool playground. Here SW is "filling up" at the gas station.

LC was my camera hog - if she saw me with the camera she always turned to smile!

Cameron had fun "serving" the kids through this window

Here's SW ordering from the cafe

Our other craft for the day was to do Australian Aboriginal Dot Art...we "painted" the Sydney Opera House and we put on a sticker label with the verse Psalm 33:3 printed on it. For stamps & playdough that day I brought train stamps & cookie cutters. It's good that we homeschool and I have alot of this junk these materials.
