Games from around the world

2011-04-21T22:20:00.000-07:00

We had a fun game night. The girls played Sheep and Hyena (Sudan), Hawk and Hens (Zimbabwe), Chinese Jump rope (China), Kim's memory Game (England), and good old American horseshoes/ring toss.
-I remember having a Chinese jump rope when I was young and playing it all the time with my sisters. I knew the girls would like it, but did not anticipate how difficult it would be to find them and much more pricey than I thought. But the girls loved them!

check out Kenya's hops!

And I couldn't believe the snow on our way home!-

Selling Cookies

2011-04-15T15:08:00.000-07:00

Commerce Bank

2011-04-08T14:11:00.000-07:00

Mark at Commerce Bank did a fabulous job with the girls. He taught them how banks work, what they do, how money is made, and showed us every inch of the building. The fourth floor is not complete yet, but he took us up there just because it is the tallest building in Rock Springs. haha. We went into the security deposit box vault and in the basement, saw how the coin and dollar machines work, and even pretended to be the board of trustees in a meeting.

All the wood from this table is from trees in Green River. The legs of the table are really cool pieces of twisted bark.

Rock Springs Airport

2011-04-01T16:31:00.000-07:00

The airport tour was fabulous! The girls saw the airport and learned about going through security and where the bags go. Then they got to go out to the airplane hanger. The hanger was built before the 1920's and they even have a picture of Amelia Earhart under the exact same hanger. The girls got to watch the FedEx guys load the airplane and then check out a helicopter. Next, they got to see the giant firetrucks they use to put out airplane fires. The girls were given free rain over the entire area and were climbing through and on top of the fire trucks. They loved it! The fire fighters let them try on their gear. And the girls went home with a little model airplane to build.

After all that I still think their favorite part of the night is when I had to cram all of them into my van to get over to the hanger. Lets just say my van wasn't made to fit 12 kids, luckily it was only a half mile away, so the screaming and laughing only lasted a couple minutes. haha

Fun Fittness Day

2011-03-13T08:54:00.000-07:00

I think the girls had a good time (and lots of excercise) doing Zumba and playing lots of games at the Rec. Center.

The Zumba lady did great with the kids, but it cracked me up she couldn't get her "to the right and to the left" going the right way. haha

Cookie Booth

2011-03-07T20:47:00.000-08:00

Thanks for all the helpers at the cookie booth on Saturday! (sorry this is the only picture I snapped this time). They sold about 600 boxes of cookies at Wal-mart so the next booth should be easy with only about 100 boxes left to sell.

First Aide Training

2011-03-04T14:22:00.000-08:00

Arielle and Angelique's uncle did a wonderful job teaching the girls all about bandaging wounds, treating snack bites (which the girls were terrified off), and how to use a magazine as a splint.

Thinking Day

2011-02-20T09:17:00.001-08:00

Our troop did great doing the flag ceremony to start off Thinking Day. Then the girls got to learn about different countries and play some games and have a good time together.

Valentine's Party

2011-02-10T21:25:00.000-08:00

All the Valentine boxes the girls made were great!!! We had a whirlwind night full of Valentine treats, smoothie making, painting, making flower clips, and having a good time!

Belly Dancing

2011-02-03T18:40:00.000-08:00

Sara Croft did a fabulous job dancing for the girls, teaching them what belly dancing is all about, teaching them some moves, letting them try on all kinds of belly dancing accessories, and creating a whole lot of fun! We have some great little dancers in our group!

Through the Years

2011-01-28T15:52:00.000-08:00

We covered all the decades from 1910-1990. We learned a lot about each decade, but I think the girls loved the dress ups the most. I had clothes that were worn in each decade and the girls got to wear them while they told about their assigned decade, then they enjoyed switching dresses several times.

I had a bag full of objects that were made or played with or watched in each decade and the girls took turns pulling them out and deciding which decade it came from. I think they were surprised to find that many of their favorite toys and movies came from a very long time ago. It was a fun night and hopefully they learned something!

Police Station

2011-01-23T17:06:00.000-08:00

The girls enjoyed their evening at the Police station. They all got finger printed, then got their eyes scanned. They got a fun bag of prizes, got to check out the shooting range, and every one's favorite was the police dog! Officer Meddler did a great job with the girls and taught them about being safe especially when out selling Girl Scout cookies.

There is a dog under all those girls, good thing he was nice-

Ice Skating

2010-12-19T18:00:00.000-08:00

I had so much fun skating with the Girls on Saturday. They were great to stay by each other and help each other out when they would fall. We also enjoyed some yummy treats and making ornaments.

Gingerbread Houses

2010-12-14T10:06:00.000-08:00

A big Thank You to Ashlyn's Grandmother for the beautiful gingerbread houses, people, trees, and mini sleds she made for the Girl Scouts to decorate. They turned out so cute!!!

Face Painting and hair

2010-12-02T22:27:00.000-08:00

Abby and her mom demonstrated to the girls how to do a braid and a bun, then the girls got to practice on each other. Some of those girls are pretty darn good at hair! After lots of hair play the girls were able to explore face painting. I gave no instructions, just paired them up, gave them the paints and let them go at it. Everyone was really into it and we have some great little artists. Sorry if you had to scrub your child's face when they got home. :)

Bowling and Secret Sisters

2010-11-20T15:55:00.001-08:00

The girls loved passing out their secret sister gifts! They were so excited to find out who had them and what they got. Then we stuffed our faces with hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, pizza and pop. We split into 3 teams for bowling and the girls did so good! They cheered each other on and behaved them selves very well. Here's the scores highest to lowest:

Green and Gold Banquet

2010-11-20T15:43:00.000-08:00

They ate chili and too many cupcakes, and were recognized for how many years they've been a Girl Scout. But mostly they were crazy. :)

Juliet Lowe's Birthday Party/Halloween party

2010-10-30T07:35:00.000-07:00

I think the girls had a fun time last night. They made 2 cute crafts all about Juliet Lowe, ate spaghetti and cake, played some games, and learned about Juliet Lowe. This helped them qualify for 2 of their try-its! And aren't they so cute!

Volleyball

2010-10-24T11:28:00.000-07:00

The girls actually did really well with Volleyball on Thursday. I don't think any of the girls have ever played before, so it was a fun new experience. Jessika Nacey did a great job teaching them the beginning basics. The girls also learned some stretching and how to find their pulse and figure their heartrate with Cammie Pollastro. They are getting close to earning some Brownie 'try-its'

Masks and Candles

2010-10-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

The girls did a great job making these candle ornaments (thanks Sara) that will go on the giant Christmas Tree they are cutting down from Wyoming to go to the capital.

They also had fun making these cute, yet slightly creepy masks. Minus a few glue gun burns and some non-washable paint on some shirts it went really well!

Humane Society

2010-10-08T07:01:00.000-07:00

The girls loved playing with and petting all the dogs and cats at the Humane Society yesterday. They learned how to approach dogs and what the Humane society is all about.

Home Depot Safety day

2010-10-03T08:48:00.000-07:00

I appreciate all the parents and girl scouts that helped on Saturday. It was actually really fun! Besides selling raffle tickets and cookies the girls got to play with the police dog, build boats with the help of the firefighters, eat free pizza and candy, and get a bunch of other fun stuff. In the 3 hours there we raised $270-not to bad!

We will definitely be making thank you cards to Home Depot for donating that really nice grill, setting up our table, giving us the raffle tickets, and making the day so fun for the girls!

Cooking Night

2010-10-02T18:42:00.000-07:00

Brooke did a wonderful job with the girls on our cooking night. She let them go at it with cracking dozens of eggs. She taught them how to properly measure and level out flour. Then they made German pancakes in teams. And they were delicious! Thanks Brooke for letting us use your house!!!

Making Shirts

2010-09-17T14:25:00.000-07:00

For one of the try-it patches the girls had to create their own shirt. I think they turned out pretty cute! Thanks Cammie for showing them what to do!

Girl Scouts on Main

2010-09-11T13:00:00.000-07:00

The girls had a fun time dancing with the Polka band, playing tag, eating their spaghetti dinner, making smores, and eating way to much candy.

Backyard Campout

2010-09-03T10:06:00.000-07:00

I really had a great time with these lovely ladies! I thought all our schedule changes would make it hard for people to come but we ended up with 12 girls-only two had to miss.
We started the night off with hot dogs, watermelon, grapes, chips, jello, etc. Next we headed to the grassy area of Westridge to play some games. We played, 'dress for the weather.' I had grown up Fall, Winter, and Summer clothes and we did relays were the girls had to put on all the clothes and run to the next person. It was pretty hilarious to watch the girls run in giant shows and baggy swimsuits!! I was laughing my head off!
On our walk there and back we looked for unique pieces of nature and later made a picture out of the things we found. When we got back to my house it was dark and Andy had got the fire going-the girls were so excited! We roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. We looked at the stars and apparently I am not very good and finding constellations besides the big dipper.
Once we got in the tent, my husband surprised everyone with a giant dancing shadow; there was a lot of screams followed by more laughter (I'm sure my neighbors loved it). Each girl got a turn to tell a shadow story and any other story they wanted to share. I think I got them all asleep by about 12:30 or 1.
Going to bed late did not hinder them from waking up at 6am. All the girls were super helpful with making pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and setting out all the other food.
All the girls were great and got along wonderfully!!!

it was a little to chilly at 7am so we squeezed all the girls in the house to eat breakfast-

Post Office Tour

Bridging to Brownies

2010-07-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

Even though it rained and we had to construct a bridge out of foam mats, we had a pretty good Bridging to Brownies Ceremony. Thank you to the Crofts for letting us use your house at the last minute!
We reviewed the year by remembering some of the field trips we went on and some things we learned. We had some very yummy food (thanks to everyone who brought it), and we wrote letters to give to a brand new Daisy troop. At the end they all got to cross the "bridge" and get their new Brownie vest.

what a great group of girls we have!-

Making Pizza's at Dominoes

2010-07-22T14:26:00.001-07:00

The girls did a great job making their own pizzas! I think all of them like the cheese machine the best. After we made our pizzas and ate them, we had some time left and went to the gas station next door and played 'who will be the first one to find ______(oreos, chapstick, orange juice, etc.)

One Mile hike and Kickball

2010-07-14T11:04:00.000-07:00

The girls each got a couple turns to lead our hike. It was hot and they were all troopers. Then we had a fun game of kickball.

Rock Springs Museum

2010-07-08T09:00:00.000-07:00

I think everyone's favorite part was the jail! The museum had tons of great history and I think the girls enjoyed learning about it through their scavenger hunt. This will earn them their local history patch.

Lagoon!!!

2010-06-21T14:26:00.000-07:00

I was to busy having fun that I forgot to take very many pictures. But I saw all our Girl Scouts at some point through our Lagoon day and I think everyone had a great time. I know we did! If you have any good pictures Email them to me and I will post them!

Rock Springs Cemetery

2010-05-25T19:17:00.000-07:00

We picked a beautiful night to go to the cemetery. I think the girls had a great time. They loved picking a grave to put their flower on and finding neat pictures on the headstones to color onto their paper. We talked about respect and why we celebrate Memorial day. Besides the excited running from grave to grave the girls were very respectful... well until the sprinklers turned on!

The Pretzel Maker

2010-05-12T16:38:00.000-07:00

The girls had a blast making their own pretzels at the Pretzel Maker! They rolled out their own dough baked them and enjoyed eating them. They also enjoyed running around the mall and going into the hurricane machine nearby.

screaming and laughing in the hurricane!-

Flat Stacies From Japan

2010-05-05T17:25:00.000-07:00

Okay, so all the girls have received a flat Stacie from a Girl Scout in Japan. We will keep these till the end of July. The girls are in charge of taking care of these so we can mail them back unharmed. For the next few months bring your flat Stacie with you whenever you do something fun, interesting, or exciting. Remember to take a picture and to write about it. Then in July we will send the flat Stacies back to Japan with pictures and letters about where they have been!

I have about 7 extra Stacies so if any of your girls want to take two let me know!

Honest and Fair, Considerate and Caring, and Mothers

2010-05-05T11:10:00.000-07:00

The girls did a fabulous job earning their honest and fair petal. I hit a bunch of eggs and only gave them one insturuction-be fair. The girls found them all and got in a circle and evenly distributed everything all on their own.
The secret pals was a huge hit! All the girls wanted to know if we could draw names again (I said maybe in a couple months).
The girls also enjoyed finger painting a card for the mothers.

Albertsons

2010-04-28T10:55:00.000-07:00

The girls had a fun tour of Albertsons yesterday. They got to see the giant ovens, the freezers, the pharmacy, they talked about all the nutritious foods and got to see a squid up close. At the end they got a certificate for a free apple, they were very excited to go through the checkout line to get their apples.

the pharmacist

We had to take a short break and play Simon says because the manager and our tour guide had to escort out a drunken man that was pushing people-lovely I know. Don't worry I moved the girls all the way to the other side of the store during this time.

This lady was pretty passionate about her squid, I think the girls were a little scarred-

Planting Flowers

2010-04-21T14:06:00.000-07:00

The girls decorated their little planters with jewels, stickers, and glitter. They filled them with dirt, put in their seeds and gave them a little water. Each girl gave their own seed a good little start, now they have to rely on each other to keep them going. Each girl will get a turn to take all 11 plants and take good care of them for a few days.

Yesterday we also drew secret pals, bring your gift back for the girl you picked on May 4th.

Rock Climbing

2010-04-14T16:24:00.000-07:00

The Rock Climbing night was a blast! For some of the girls this was very scary and difficult but they all tried many times and faced their fears. I was very proud of all the girls! Some of the girls zipped up to the top of the wall like they were professional climbers. It was a fun night!

Movie Night

2010-03-26T21:30:00.000-07:00

We went to see How to Train Your Dragon in 3D. The girls had a fun time at the theatre even if some of them were plugging their ears, hiding their faces, and not wanting to wear their 3D glasses. ;)

Hospital

2010-03-17T11:12:00.000-07:00

The girls had a great time touring the hospital. The OB nurses were very pleased with the baby blankets. The girls got to see all the neat things used in the labor and delivery rooms (there were no babies at the time so they let them come back). They loved seeing all the neat stuff used for new babies and had lots of questions. They all went home with a preemie size diaper. Giving the blankets earned them their rose colored petal-Making the world a better place. And they will also get a patch for the hospital tour.

No More Cookies

2010-03-13T12:37:00.000-08:00

We had our second cookie booth sale Saturday morning. We were done by 11:00. Thanks for everyone's help!!! I have two boxes to mail off to the troop and then I have 6 boxes of tagalongs and 1 box of trefoils left-so if you hear of anyone who wants them let me know!!!

I want to get all our money turned in next week, so if you haven't turned in your cookie money to me please bring it to next weeks activity (Tuesday @ the hospital), or bring it by my house!

PineWood Derby Races

2010-03-13T12:21:00.000-08:00

The girls had a great time racing their very cute cars Friday night. (sorry about the change of location and the late night). Our troop did awesome!!! Cali's car won best of show with her awesome purple paint job. Maddie's car got first place, Josey's car came in second. And the other cars did wonderfully!!! I think that was a good experience for the girls to make these special cars with their dads

Love the bathtub design!-

Ice Skating Party

2010-03-09T07:58:00.000-08:00

The girls had a great time skating last night. For a lot of the girls it was their first time on the ice and others were skating around like pros. But I think everyone had fun!

Cookie Booth Sell Out!!!

2010-03-06T15:51:00.000-08:00

Between my sick little ones, the wind blowing our signs (and money) away, and the constant sells I only took one picture. The girls did a great job and sold every single box of cookies we had left!!! The weather was actually really nice too!

Thank you Valerie, Ashlyn, Josey, Maddie, and Samantha! And thanks to the huge parent helps, Brooke, Ruthan, Anhjayla, Natalie, Connie and Kara for making the signs!!!

I will try and snatch up some more cookies to sell next Saturday so the girls that were unable to earn their booth badge today can earn it next week. I'll let you know by Monday.

Building Bird Houses

2010-03-06T15:43:00.000-08:00

The girls did a great job building their bird houses his morning-very cute. Next time I will know that it only takes about 20 minutes to do these Home Depot crafts and I will know how to schedule them.

Blanket Service Project

2010-03-03T11:07:00.000-08:00

The girls did a fabulous job finishing up the fleece blankets, they were very good at it! I think it will be fun for the girls to bring the blankets to the hospital themselves (March 16). Yesterday I also handed out patches and we pinned them to the girls vests so you can sew them on when you have time. (they all go on the back).

Thinking Day

2010-02-23T07:59:00.000-08:00

A big Thanks to Brooke (Brecken's mom) for bringing all our stuff and running our Japan table. She did a wonderful job and took a huge load off of me for the night! And thanks to all the other parents that stayed and helped with everything else!
I think the girls had a good time and learned a lot about several different countries and enjoyed being with all the Girl Scouts in Rock Springs.

Don't forget about our cookie booth outside of Smiths on Saturday, Feb. 27 from 1-5PM. We need all the girls we can get. (they don't need to stay for the entire time, just bring them for the first hour the middle or the last hour or two-whatever works for you).

Recycling Center Tour

2010-02-15T16:20:00.000-08:00

We learned what to recycle, how it's done, and what they turn the recycled material into. I think the girls liked watching the bailer best and the pigeons flying around the warehouse. This tour earned the girls their green petal-Use Resources Wisely.

Valentine's Party!

2010-02-10T11:48:00.000-08:00

I think the girls had a great time at the Valentine's party! They painted their nails, made valentines, made heart picture frames with a picture of their troop in the middle, made heart bunnies, played Valentine Bingo, passed out valentines, and played a group game that ended with all of them inside one hola hoop. There was tons of yummy food-thank you everyone that brought food and other supplies! Each girl went home with a giant bag of Valentines from their friends and a giant smile on their faces!

Flat Stacies to Japan

2010-02-06T11:56:00.000-08:00

Our flat Stacie's and letters are on their way to Japan. I think this will be fun to learn more about Japan from a Girl Scout Troop living there!

Swimming

2010-01-27T12:41:00.000-08:00

Before hoping in the pool the lifeguard went over some water safety and then showed the girls how to rescue someone. The rest of the time was spent playing games in the water, laughing, and sitting in the hot tub! I think the girls had a fun time. When Summer comes we will plan many more swimming parties in all the outdoor pools!

Hunsaker Dental

2010-01-21T13:37:00.000-08:00

The girls had a fun time at the dentist on Tuesday. Dr. Hunsaker did a wonderful job teaching them about taking care of their teeth, gums, and mouth. The girls got to see all around his office and they loved the fun stuff in the waiting room! They each left with a new toothbrush, flossers, timer, mouth mirror, and a ring. This trip earned them their "Respect Myself" Daisy petal.

Police Station

2010-01-13T15:25:00.001-08:00

The girls enjoyed their time at the police station last night. The police officer showed us all around including the indoor shooting range, their old jail cells, the evidence area, records, the detectives area, the interview rooms, etc. I feel like I learned a lot too since I've never been in a police station before.
The girls were going to get their eye's scanned but the software they needed wasn't available so we will be going back at a later date to do that as well as finger printing.
The girls each got a big goodie bag of Rock Springs Police Department gear. We also got to have cupcakes to celebrate Angelique's birthday.
I made the mistake of taking pictures in rooms I wasn't suppose to so they took my camera away to delete any pictures with information in the background-whoops! But here are the pictures they let me keep:

The jail cells, FYI-they don't have bars on them, that's just in the movies.

The girls liked beating up this man-

Cookie Kickoff!

2010-01-09T12:50:00.000-08:00

The cookie Kickoff Rally went well and I think the girls had a fun time. They got to play games, make a craft, and eat pudding with crushed up Girl Scout cookies on top. The patches for this event haven't arrived yet so they will get them soon. Also I picked up everyone's cookie selling packets and I will hand them out on Tuesday at the Police Station! (meet at the police station about 6:20 so you can fill out an information form about your child before we start at 6:30 and get some info on what we are doing that night.)

Flag Ceremony

2009-12-08T08:29:00.000-08:00

The girls were so darn cute as 3 and 4 of them tried to hold up those giant flags and carry them to the front. They did a wonderful job being quiet and respectful. It was short and sweet and I think a good and new experience for them.

Good Job Girl Scouts! I'm very proud of you!

Parade of Lights...

2009-12-06T12:42:00.000-08:00

or The Parade of Icy Coldness! Who's idea was it anyway to have a parade in December?

I apologize first off about the freezing cold little girls and the disorganization of drop off and pick up. I had never been to this parade and I was only given minimal instructions. The girls started out all smiles and happy, but we had some frozen little girls by the end of the parade. I think we will stick with the Summer parades from now on. Next December I think our troop should get together in a nice warm place, drink hot cocoa, and have a party while everyone else sits on the float!
Tell the girls that I promise the rest of our winter events will be nice and warm. :)

Fire Station

2009-12-02T17:19:00.001-08:00

The girls had a fun time at the fire station on Tuesday. They learned a lot about Fire Station 3 and Fire Safety. They earned their Respect Authority Daisy Petal.
"The fire suite is like carrying a 40 pound kid on your back."

Everyone was very interested in the heat sensor-

Pineda's Kenpo Karate

2009-11-11T10:46:00.000-08:00

I was totally impressed with Willie and his assistant at Kenpo Karate. They did an amazing job with the girls. They taught the girls so many great self-defense techniques, they made the girls laugh so hard and they all had a wonderful time! The girls even got their own Kenpo Badge. The also earned their Courage and Strength Daisy Petal.

Pizza Party

2009-11-08T14:11:00.000-08:00

We met at Dominoes on Friday to learn about life behind the counter and make our own pizzas. Unfortunately, Dominoes was have somethings fixed and could not allow kids behind the counter. So we headed to Author park to play and eat our pizza. We had a good time despite the change in plans. We will reschedule with Dominoes at a later date.

Remember to meet at Kenpo Karate at 5:30 on Tuesday!!!

Girls Scout Halloween Party

2009-11-03T08:47:00.000-08:00

We just had 2 girls from our troop there, but there were almost 70 girls all together. I think they had a lot of fun playing all the games and making crafts!

Girl Scout Halloween Party!

2009-10-21T17:22:00.000-07:00
