Barnyard Roundup – day 4

Yesterday’s story was Jesus Tells about a Sower. We sowed seeds in a path where people walked but birds ate the seed, rocky ground (rocks laying on a dark brown towel), ground that also grew vines, and finally good soil. Managing all the birds, seeds, vines, and plants must have been overwhelming – I took no pictures.

Today’s story was Jesus Tells about a Lost Son. Note: two boys wanted to be the wayward son, so we had two sons. Here the father is giving his sons money to go out into the world:DSC02239The sons spent the money foolishly including buying pizza and soda for two party girls:DSC02241The sons are hungry and desperate and find work on a farm. One son took care of the pigs while the other intently raked the green grass.DSC02243The father welcomes home his lost son:DSC02244A few pictures from the other groups I worked with:DSC02252Thinking about eating the pig food:DSC02257DSC02254The older brother was unhappy as the father greeted the son:DSC02258Isabella and the horse became immediate and fast friends. She named him Hot Cocoa and gave him a hug before she left each day.DSC02264As a little break from storytelling/acting, we used the props from the party scene to take group photos.DSC02233DSC02263DSC02268Lunch served by the lunch crew.
