Hays-Z Days: Egg-stravaganza

Our church hosted an Egg-stravaganza today. They had a bunch of different games for the kids to play where they could win candy...just what we need more of :) They had some animals to pet and see. Levi loved the little chicks. He kept petting them and trying to grab them. Isaac was more interested in the bunnies. They had a little lamb too which I thought was really cute but the boys weren't interested in it!
Earlier this year, the kids were given plastic acorn banks to collect money for missionary kids. Today was the day they got to break the bank! Levi's bank already had a hole in it that we fixed with tape :) I thought he would be really excited to hit it with the hammer but I guess all of the people watching him was too intimidating. He got the safety glasses on and then threw them off and ran back to Dan and me! Isaac did use the hammer and broke his bank but wasn't willing to do another one. It worked out well because the little girl in line behind us didn't have a bank to break so she was able to use ours.
For the "egg" part of the day, each kid was given a bag with 6 eggs. Each egg had a Bible verse in it on a different color paper. The kids had to go around and find the person who was wearing that color with the Bible verse on their shirt. When they found them, they received a silly band. At the end of the morning, they had a little program to explain the silly bands.

Red Heart: For God loved the world so much that he gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Blue Person: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
Brown Cross: But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8
Green Tree: Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18
White Dove: But if we confess our sins, He will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right. He will cleanse us from all the wrongs we have done. 1 John 1:9
Yellow Candle: For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of Light! Ephesians 5:8

What a great reminder for the kids to have that they can wear on their wrists!
