The Pirate Getaway was a great success, with 25 kids in attendance it was the biggest of the Kid’s Day series of activities so far. We had a great returning group, many kids who attend our church, and many of those who, while they may not attend our church do attend our events were joined by five new friends. Zoe, Ozia, Vivienne, Sophia, and Elizabeth joined us for the first time, and they had grrrrreat fun.
A special thanks needs to be given to our volunteers; Tammi, Billie, Sarah, Tymberlee, Becky, and especially Grace who stepped in and took charge of a wild group for about 30 minutes so everyone else could get a rest. Without those willing to step in and lend a hand these great events wouldn’t happen.
We watched a great movie (The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything), sang some great songs, made some cool crafts, played a couple Pirate Games, and best of all had an excellent story time and a lesson about loving others from Capt’n Charlie.
In the end Vivienne was the winner of our big prize, taking home and animated, electronic fish bowl. Connor and Blake were our runners up each getting a big peppermint stick.
By the time we were done everyone had walked the plank, some people twice, we had eaten lunch, and all had fun.
As an announcement, the Kid’s Fun Day that was scheduled for March 19th has been cancelled. That is the same day as the CEF (Child Evangelism Fellowship) Family Fun Fair at the Sault Middle School. This is a free event with lots of activities for all ages and we look forward to seeing you there. For more information contact CEF at 906-632-4453. Volunteers are always welcome.
