FX [Family Experience]

We took the boys (mostly just Hudson, but Tate went too!) to FX at Central Christian a few weeks ago.  This is their new VBS.  Instead of doing it during the week, it's on Sunday afternoons during July and the whole family is supposed to come and participate. 

Hudson really enjoyed it...the lesson the day we went was on Jonah, which is one of his favorites.  He got to "paint" a fish, watch a puppet show, and then, his favorite part, go out to the gym for some activities.

Next week is the last week, and we are going to try to go back, but they put it right during naptime, which makes it hard to get to, unless you want to wake your kids up from naps.  I think the whole concept they have of the family experience is great, but overall, the whole event needed more organization and creativity (attendance was pretty low too).  Just my opinion though. Hudson enjoyed it, and that's the most important.  But I've seen some of the VBS they have put on in the past, and this doesn't even come close.  Plus Jamie was pretty put out by the middle school girls dance routine that kicked the whole afternoon off.  They threw beach balls around for the kids to hit - which was the only part Hudson cared about - so did we really need girls up on stage "swinging their hips"?  {His words exactly. Is he turning in to his father?!?}  :)
