gs farm visit and campout

the girls had so much fun visiting a "farm" and having a mini-campout with our little girl scout troop! they went on a scavenger hunt, a hayride, fed and rode the horses, got to see lots of longhorns, and then settled back at our leaders house for a campout in the backyard. . . in tents! it was a great evening!

earth day!

the girls and i took a trip to the local recycling plant on earth day with our girl scout troop! they got to see how everything is sorted, decorate reusable bags, tour the facility, and play on a brand new garbage truck! :) it was a great afternoon. . . and a great motivator for us to start recycling! already we have gone from two full trash cans and a pile of trash . . . to one trash can and 2 bins of recyclable materials! :) YAY! :)

first gs campout

the girls and i had our first girl scout campout this weekend! we drove out to belton and stayed at the girl scout camp there. what a cool place for a kid! :) there were lots of things to explore and sooooo much to do! we didn't have enough time! we stayed in a great rustic "lodge" with lots of bunks and a kitchen! we cooked a great hot dog dinner, went to do crafts with the rest of the troops, made s'mores over a coal flame, hiked to the bathroom A LOT, and enjoyed all the fresh air! a cold front blew in over night, which meant cold and rain in the morning . . . making for a perfect campout! :) we all got soaked on our way to breakfast, but then things cleared up and we were able to enjoy the morning's activities . . . making a journal, learning to use a compass, making longhorns, and munching away on our trail mix! we made a great lunch of pb&j and then packed up to head home. we were all tired, but had a great time being in the outdoors! :) we might even brave two nights next year! :)

world thinking day!

yay! our first big girl scout event . . . world thinking day! :) our troop learned about germany and had a great time designing our poster and making our "swaps" for the day! when the girls arrived they each got a passport and walked around visiting all of the other "countries" to try food, learn a few things, and of course collect a swap! what a fun afternoon! :) seeing how excited they were made it all worth the work! :)
