Vacation Bible school 2009

A great week has come to an end aboard the USS HopePointe. The cruise started Monday July 13 and ended Friday July 17, 2009. The passengers included 50 boys and girls ages 3-sixth graders. I'm not sure how old sixth graders are!! Anyway, it was quite an amazing jaunt. The food was spectacular! Some of the most creative ship fare ever to be seen. I will post some of the recipes soon, if i can talk our fabulous chef to share her secrets!!

Then of course the ship's daily log was amazing, informative, creative, colorful, well any sailing cruise ship would

have been jealous and envious to have one even half as cute!

The games on board were fabulous, the crafts were too fun, the skits took us back to Biblical times and we did some singing and jumping.

But... the most amazing thing was the daily in putting to the blue and red buckets with pennies to be sent to

the Crisis Nursery in Malawi, Africa. Today $143 was sent to Africa and the final count is not in yet, but I will keep you posted.
