Breakaway 2017

This past week was our 5th time participating in our church's annual vacation bible school, Breakaway.  This years theme was "Walk this Way" and traveling around the world.  This was also Maggie's first year in the "big room" (MPR) with all the older, elementary-aged kids and bigger activities and experiences.  It was an awesome week!

The church gets completely transformed for the week. 

Enormous bounce houses and slides are the main attraction

We have a dance team...
 ....and drama team

Everyday the girls would come home with new face painting

One awesome part of the week is that the kids are challenged to raise money for The Water Project (https://thewaterproject.org/).  This is our 2nd year putting on a lemonade stand in our neighborhood.  The girls raised $120.03 for The Water Project, selling lemonade and cookies in 2 hours!



On the last day, the girls were called on stage to talk about how they raised their money for The Water Project.  They were so excited to tell their story!

Well, another great year of Breakaway has come to an end....until next year...!
