Backyard Campout

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!!!

Bridging to Brownies

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

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

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

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!!!

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!
