Girl Scout Campout '09

We had another fantastically fun girl scout camp out!!! It is an honor for us to host this event for such a neat group of girls. Before the official party began we did a short badge ceremony to present the girls with the badges/patches that they earned for the year. We also had two girls (Hana and Alexa) earn the bronze award. Great job on all your hard work!! I am so glad you guys had so much fun together as a troop and I am looking forward to hearing all the things you have planned for this upcoming year!!! (And yes, I am so excited to take you to hocking hills to try the zip line!!! No backing out on me Brenda!!)



All of the girls loved Toffee, Sparkles and Daisy. They were so excited to be able to sleep outside with our cute little kittens.






Here they are saying the Girl Scout promise before the badge ceremony.


It got dark quick but the girls were able to sneak in some pizza outside.




Hana, Adrienne and Rebecca could have swam all night together.


Swimming in the dark is so much fun!




After a cool dip in the pool they snuggled up in pj's with blankets in front of the fire, ready to roast their marshmallows. Alexa and Hana learned a lot about outdoor cooking at girl scout camp over the summer.

A group picture the morning after their night of very LITTLE sleep. (some slept more than others but I won't name any names...)


They even swam the next morning in the freezing cold! Brrr...


Looking forward to next time...

Looks like everyone had fun--and we did too with Colin!

And isn't night swimming the BEST when you're a kid???
