Ready to Cast Off

We finished our High Seas Expedition VBS decorations a week early this year. Scott traditionally goes to Eagles Training Camp on his birthday, but the Eagles seem to be running late this year - the veterans are only just showing up on his birthday. Since he doesn't have any other days off, that means that in order to get to training camp, he'll have to go the Saturday before VBS. That day is usually reserved for frantic last minute VBS work - so we had to not procrastinate this year! The picture above shows our finished main stage.

Here's a close-up of the dock area:

A close-up of that area - we really like the little portholes we made:

Our Bible Voyage room, set up for the first day:

And our games table. Yup, we need all this stuff:

Not bad for a decorating crew of four! I thank God for my dedicated family - and for the fact that we'll have a lot more helpers when VBS actually starts!
