Rainforest Adventure

Phew! Another year, another vacation church school over and done. Michael was asking everyone what their favorite part was. He seemed a little insulted when I told him my favorite part was dropping everyone off and leaving with the baby. 'Tawsn't necessarily the way it was, though. Several days I ran some errands for supplies and visited with the staff. Plus youth group kids kept stealing Daniel, which made it difficult to get away. One morning, I actually left him there with Chip for a couple hours so I could come home, do laundry, the gardening, supper prep, etc. It's amazing how relaxing even chores can seem when you're doing them child-free!



Sunday night while we were getting ready was a night of firsts for Daniel-- first steps, first pizza!


Chip sent me out to buy decorations. His idea was fake greenery, but good gravy, that's expensive! I bought lots of 77 cent a yard netting instead. Here are the guys fixing up the Amazon River.



And the girls making fishies for our river.


The centerpiece of the room was a paper chain rainforest" canopy." I don't know how well you can see it here, but it was pretty neat!
