GIRL SCOUT FUN

LEXIE HAD HER FIRST GIRL SCOUT OVERNIGHT CAMPING TRIP WITH HER TROOP ON THURSDAY. WE CAMPED OUT UP AT ANDERSON COVE. WE HAD A TOTAL OF 9 GIRLS SHOW UP AND HAD PLENTY OF HELP FROM MANY MOMS. THE GIRLS DID SO AWESOME AT HELPING US SET UP CAMP."MOM POWER" TO THE RESCUE. WHO SAYS GIRLS CANT SENT UP TENTS. IT JUST MIGHT TAKE US A LITTLE LONGER BUT WE GET THE JOB DONE.... A LOT OF LAUGHING AND GIGGLING...AND WE WONDER WHERE THE GIRLS GET THAT FROM...THIS IS KIERRA, LEXIE AND NEVEAH
THE WEATHER WAS PRETTY "HOT" THAT DAY. WE HAD WORKED UP A SWEAT PUTTING UP TENTS AND UNLOADING EVERYTHING THAT WE DECIDED TO GO DOWN TO THE BEACH FOR A SWIM. WE HAD THE GIRLS PICK A BUDDY FOR THE 2 DAYS WE WERE GOING TO BE UP THERE. LEXIE AND SHAYLIE WERE INSEPERABLE.HERE IS A GROUP SHOT OF THE GIRLS....THE GIRLS HAD SO MUCH ENERGY! I HAD A GREAT TIME PLAYING WITH LEXIE AND WATCHING HER MAKE NEW FRIENDS WITH THE GIRLS IN HER TROOP. THIS WAS NOT JUST A "HAVE FUN" TRIP FOR THE GIRLS. THE GIRLS HAD TO DO A LOT OF THE WORK AROUND CAMP TO EARN BADGES. WE TAUGHT THEM HOW TO START A FIRE AND THEY HAD TO COOK THEIR OWN HOTDOGS AND SMORES. MY MOM AND DAD CAME UP TO BRING ME SOME ITEMS I FORGOT. THEY STAYED FOR DINNER. I JUST LOVE THE PICTURE OF LEXIE LOOKING UP HER GRANDPA. AFTER DIINER WE HAD DID A NATURE SCAVENGER HUNT. THE GIRLS IN MY GROUP ROCKED!!! WE HAD FUN LOOKING FOR THE ITEMS ON OUR LIST AND ENJOYED THE PERFECT EVENING. THIS IS ALLI, LEXIE, SAVANNAH, AND KAYLAWE ALSO PLAYED GAMES SUCH AS....CRUNCH CRUNCH MOOSE, WHAT TIME IS IT MR. WOLF, THROWING LARGE FRISBEE DICS, AND GOING ON A NIGHT WALK A LOOKING AT STARS.I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF LEXIE AND SHAYLIE THEY WERE STUCK TOGETHER AT THE HIP THE ENTIRE TRIP. SO CUTE !!! THE GIRLS HAD FUN SITTING AROUND THE CAMPFIRE SINGING CAMPSONGS FOR A WHILE. THEY WERE LAUGHING AND GIGGLING, AS GIRLS DO. WHAT GREAT MEMORIES FOR THESE LITTLE GIRLS! 10P.M. CAME AND WE WERE TIRED PARENTS. BUT THESE GIRLS HAD SO MUCH ENERGY. SOME OF THESE GIRLS WERE UP TILL 2 A.M. AND WERE BACK UP BY 5:30 A.M.!!!!! LEIXE AND SHAYLIE AGAIN!!! THEY WERE SO CUTE. THEY KEPT TELLING ME TO GO TO BED SO THEY COULD STAY UP AND TALK. YA, 2 LITTLE GIRLS TELLING ME TO GO TO BED.!!! LOVED IT!! WELL, SEEMS HOW WERE WERE WOKE UP SO EARLY BY SOME EARLY BIRDS WE TOOK A MORNING GROUP PICTURE... AND THEN GOT BUSY MAKING BREAKFAST. IN ORDER FOR THE GIRLS TO EARN ANOTHER BADGE THEY HAD TO PREPARE THEIR OWN PANCAKE AND COOK IT. (WITH SUPERVISION). MAN THESE LITTLE GIRLS CAN EAT. LEXIE MADE US CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES. SHE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!AFTER BREAKFAST THE GIRLS TOOK DOWN CAMP AND LOADED EVERYTHING BACK INTO THE CARS. GIRL SCOUT CAMP TRIP OVER WITH. ALL THE GIRLS HAD THEIR MOMS WITH THEM SO WE HEADED BACK DOWN TO THE BEACH. TIFFANY (TROOP LEADER) CALLED HER HUSBAND AND HE CAME UP WITH THEIR BOAT. THE GIRLS WENT ON BOAT RIDES AND PLAYED IN THE WATER.
