The week-long program culminates with an outdoor concert put on by the kids which is promptly followed by an Ice Cream Social. Yum.
Below are the songs that Aidan and Nick (top) and Amanda (bottom) performed.

Vacation Bible School 2012
Many years ago, we began sending the kids to a great Vacation Bible School (VBS) program at White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church. The program is always well run and well attended making it something the kids look forward to. And this year was a special treat as cousins Nick and Brianna also attended.

Summer Vacation 2012
On July 6th we migrated the crew a bit southward for our annual week-long trek to the Delaware beaches.
Saturday and Sunday were spent at Towers Beach. Despite the near 100° temps, both days were awesome. The water was just the right temp to be refreshing without being cold and the waves were small enough to allow Aidan some freedom in the water.
Monday was spent recouping. And biking.
Tuesday we met up with Nana, Poppop, Uncle Jason, Aunt Debbie, and Nick and Brianna in Ocean City for the day. We are so blessed that not only do we live close to our extended family, but that we are close with our extended family. We truly treasure these times.
Wednesday, we returned to Towers Beach and met up with a friend from church. She brought with her a horde of children (some hers and some not). Between her and us, there were 10 kids to monitor. Despite our being in the minority, and the significantly angrier ocean, everyone came away in tact and had a great time.
Thursday we spent recouping. And biking. And playing tennis. In the street. While being eyeballed by some neighborhood kids.
Friday was a real treat. We headed back to Ocean City and met up again with the extended family at Splash Mountain at Jolly Roger Amusement Park. I don't think we missed a single slide in the whole park. And the more adventurous souls (looking at you Alex and Abby) tackled such nonsense as the Aqua Loop and the Stealth. Eek.
Finally, on Saturday, we spent a very leisurely afternoon at Cape Henlopen. It really was the perfect end to a great week.
