Today in the village was our last day running VBS and Sports Camp. The VBS was amazing: all the kids were singing with us and even knew some actions, as well as dancing around and being genuinely involved. The girls loved seeing the kids learning the actions and words, and actually singing the words out. The crafts and games went much more smoothly as well, so the girls were really happy with the results.
Sports camp also went well. We sent the older kids to play "real" soccer across the field, while half of us played red rover and "dog and the bone" with the younger kids. Then we got out buckets of water and sponges and played "over/under" for all of 5 seconds before a waterfight broke out. Quickly we brought out the two hundred some water balloons we filled up over lunch and Dugald lead the way to a pretty epic waterfight. We had the younger kids attack the older kids, before attacking the team, before ripping into the bags to get to all the other balloons and attacking anything in sight.
we came home, swam in the ocean, ate and got ready for the girls. the girls are spent but most of them are holding up for the sake of making our girls feel special, which is inspiring. Go Girls!
