Waco Vacation Bible School Directory

Vacation Bible School can be a fun summer activity for kids, where they get to play games and do crafts while learning more about Jesus.  There are many VBS programs going on in Waco and nearby areas this summer.  I'm making up a list...and I'm not finished, but since some of these start this week, I wanted to get them posted  (I'll have more listed for late June, July and August soon!).

There's more listed here (they list summer missions programs too), but they only list the church name and dates, and I can't find more info on a lot of these.  Also, you can learn more about many of the VBS themes here.

And here's a great article by another Waco Mom about VBS

GARDENING TIP: Time to Plant Pumpkins!

Yep, that's right! Pumpkins! If you want to have mature pumpkins in time for Halloween, you need to start planting them now! Pumpkins take three to four months to mature, so you want to plant from June to early July, depending on the variety you're planting and how big you want your pumpkin (the longer they grow, the bigger they get!).  Learn more about planting pumpkins here.
