Mama teaching - it's what she does
Sometime she dresses up to tell the story. Not that William listens any better (it was SO interesting for me to see William in a group and how his behavior was different)
Daddy carried Amelia on his back and was the official Photographer. The director of the program loved having a lot of pictures to pick from!
Amelia also got to hang out with the high school helpers when they weren't busy. She LOVED music time!
William has talked someone else into reading him a book!
He listened (sometimes) to stories told by Mama
Tracing the kids shapes outside - William's super creative/fun/wonderful teacher had some pretty interesting shaped students (shape on the above right). The kids LOVED standing up to find themselves as a whale/alligator/monkey. PS She is an art student.
He drew with chalk
He did fun crafts
He ate delicious snacks 
Sang some songs (although, I will admit this is probably the part he liked the least)
William also got to play some games (I don't know what they were doing here..)
Made friends (and did A LOT of running)
Played with water balloons
And this picture shows why I am totally in love with his teacher. William had a water balloon and before he started playing a game, it popped all over his shirt. You could see the emotions playing across his face - he wasn't sure if he should cry or be mad or...when he looked up at Jessie (teacher), she laughed at him and said "That was SO silly!" William thought for a split second and laughed too. He continued to laugh about that silly balloon for the rest of the week. Which is why I will be taking her with me on every trip/vacation after I win the lottery. She was WONDERFUL with William and handled his poor tired, overstimulated self like a pro. We'll be sad when she goes back to school in a few short weeks! It sure does take some very special people to make a VBS run!
Conned someone else into reading him a book!
He even got to color his own Tshirt
Mama and Mia on the last night - there wasn't any teaching responsibilities so I was free to enjoy myself!
The kids singing during their final night - William is in the front row, center with blue/green striped shorts
Amelia enjoyed the cookies with dinner on Friday night (we had a cookout at church)
She also enjoyed hanging out with a kiddo her age in the ball pool
William enjoyed the boat races
Sliding down the giant slide
Getting temporary tattoos
He also requested this cool white snake - painted by his very talented VBS teacher!
Those blue eyes! He was so sad when that snake washed off - I finally convinced him it had crawled into his ear to take a nap. Both kids were SO over tired by the end of the week the smallest thing would set them off.
