Skateland

April

After a break to do cookies the girls are back to their regularly scheduled fun :)  We started with a trip to skateland where the troop hosted an event for the neighborhood.  The girls were given a 1 hour skate lession, then had a pizza party and then they got to skate for 2 1/2 hours.  They had so much fun and were exhausted afterwards.

Its cookie time!

The girls had an impressive start to cookie sales this year pre-ordering a record 10,000 cookies.  On the day of cookie pick-up we had to have a special place to pick up our cookies because there was so many.  All the parents kicked in to help move cookies, count cookies, and load cookies.  There was cookies, cookies, cookies everywhere! 

The troop was lucky enough to get some great booths and ended up selling a record 18,000 cookies!  Our per girl average was over a 1000 for each girl.  Amazing Job!  Our girls rock!

Kiwanis Splash Down Party

December

The girls got to go the Kiwanis Club indoor wave pool.  After an hour swim lession and water safety class the girls got to play in the wave pool for 2 hours.  The girls were having so much fun they didnt want to stop to eat their pizza lunch.  Everyone agreed that the pool was "cool". 

Lost Dutchman Hike

November

We set out for our annual hike to the same place as last year.  We went on the Lost Dutchman trail to see the hieroglyphics.  So this year I was determined to make the hike.  Last year I only made it half way and turned back.  It was hard but I finally made it to the end.  It was interesting to see all the pictographs that have been there for hundreds of years.  It is a 4 mile hike round trip and all the kids made it this year.  We had a picnic lunch at  the end of the trail and headed back.  I dont know about the girls but I was so sore :)  It was worth it though.

Botanical Gardens Butterfly Class

October
We went to the Botanical Gardens to participate in a special Girl Scout class on Butterflies.  The guide took the girls through the botanical gardens pointing out butterflies and telling the girls about them.  They even got to dress up and with some party blowers pretend to be a butterfly.  The highlight of the class was a trip into the Butterfly Pavilion where the girls got to see tons of butterflies up close. 

Halloween Sleepover

The girls decided they wanted to have a sleepover!  After a spooky eyeball spegetti dinner they got busy.  We carved pumpkins, decorated pillow cases for trick or treating and did some crafts.  The girls stayed up late watching Halloween shows and playing games. 

Juliette Low Birthday Party

The troop hosted an event for Juliette Low's Birthday Party.  We had stations with activities like cupcake decorating, carmel apples, cake walk, Juliette Low daisy swaps, birthday party poppers, and a couple games like the right/left family and a Juliette Low trivia game.  The girls and their parents volunteered to run a station and we invited over 80 girls to come to the event.  It was a great experience for the girls.
