Celebrating a Year of Girl Scouts.




Today Mia finished off her first year as a Brownie. It had its ups and downs, but I think we're going to stick with it. We went camping last week and enjoyed it immensely. On the way back to our tent the second night, Mia told me, "I'm really bonding with my girl scout sisters. I like them so much." So, for the end of year party, Sally (the troop leader) called up each of the girls individually and presented them with flowers and their membership pins. Then we had leftover camp food, including veggie dogs. In fact, in the picture showing Mia sitting on the floor, holding a hot dog, she is fervently trying to convince one of the Daisies that a real hot dog is made out of pigs. "Yes, that is a pig that you are eating! It is!!" (I can imagine other troops might take issue with such an activist child. Not this one! They are all individuals.) Yea for Girl Scouts!
