We got up early the next morning, grabbed a quick breackfast and headed out again to the Expo Center. We set everything back up like we had the day before and opened. Almost instantly we were swamped with kids. Twenty minutes after opening the bouncehouse I had to start a line because so many kids were there that if I let them all in, they could overweigh the boncehouse!
It Remained that way almost all day. Luckily, I had two other helpers and we took on shifts, so I got a break every two hours or so. When I did have a break, I usually spent it taking pictures or videos. Everyone was very busy. Children were taking bibles, getting temporary tattoos and eating popcorn--just what we let them do at most of the other events we go to. Lines were stacking up, and thought that meant we had to work harder, we were glad, knowing that our work in the Lord was not in vain.
Eventually, it became time for the kids show, so we closed down the bounchouse and the kids gathered around the stage area we had set up. We did the usual show, in which we had a giant full body puppet sing and dance with a song, we had Dad do a few other, smaller puppets, a memory verse, and a few other things, then closed with a salvation prayer. The kids responded well.
After that we gave out some prizes and ended the show. For a few more hours we left the bounce houses up, then closed them down and got everything ready for the night. We then left and went back to the motel to get some rest before the next big day.
