Saying goodbye to Cubbies

My good friend introduced us to Awana last year and Jacob really loves it. Each week begins with story time, where they learn their verse of the week. Their leader is so good with these little ones and I love that she teaches them the verse in sign language too. Then they have a craft, snack, game time (which two very enthusiastic dads lead), and lots of singing. The grand finale is the Cubbie bear puppet... you can just see their eyes fill with excitement! Best of all, they learn no matter WHERE you are or WHAT you're doing... God loves YOU!

It took Jacob two years to fill in all of his patches, so he was super excited.

After the Cubbies sang for everyone, there were hot dogs, popsicles, and hay rides!
They were also having scoops of ice cream for 31 cents at Baskin Robbins, so we couldn't resist stopping there on our way home. ;) Silly Gavin insisted on wearing these funky sunglasses.
