March Break is Over

As many of you know, I've been quite busy the last few weeks getting things ready for March Break Out which is a DVBS which we had a Colonel Gray Senior High School this year. It's such an awesome program and I've been so blessed with the opportunity to help organise and participate in it. We (the committee) have been planning this even since the last March Break, and although it was a ton of work, it was well worth it! The children who attended March Break Out really had an awesome time, and the parents really appreciated it too! Between the main program and the preschool program we had ~170 children, slightly lower than last year but still a great turn out!

This year's theme was Avalanche Ranch, 'A wild ride through God's Word!' It was a fun, exciting, and energetic theme which we all enjoyed. On Monday afternoon we went swimming/skating, on Tuesday we had Dare to Share puppets come in and do some shows for the kids, on Wednesday we had Temple Baptist come in from away to put on some songs and dancing, games, and showed the kids how to make their own puppets and do some shows. On Thursday we went swimming/skating again, and on Friday we had a Winter Carnival! We had 4 different bouncy rides which took up almost three quarters of the gym and we had Snow Cones! It was awesome to see (not so much to set up and take down, oh my gosh...) but in the end it was still worth it as the kids had an amazing time Friday afternoon. And what a way to end an awesome week!

I'm sad to see the week come to a close. March Break Out has consumed a lot of my time (almost 70hrs Monday to Friday alone) and I had the pleasure to meet some amazing kids (and leaders too) and I will certainly miss them all! I could quite easily say that it's been the best week of my life! And I thank God for allowing us to have something like this, that all the children could attend, and that they were in a safe and loving environment.
