They had unlimited food and drinks. We couldnt last all day but we here some of the girls helped close the place. What a great day!

Biosphere2
April
We finally got to go to the Biosphere2. It was interesting seeing where the scientists lived for 2 years. The girls got to walk through the 5 different environmental zones: rainforest, high desert, low desert, savanah, and ocean. The loved the expanding room which served to regulate the atmosphere in the bio-dome. They were split on whether they lived the rainforest or ocean area better. They all agreed it would be exciting to be able to live their for 2 years but way too much work.

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.
