END OF THE YEAR GIRL SCOUT STUFF

CEREMONY OF AWARDS


So, the Girl Scout year is over, THANK GOODNESS. The end of the year was so busy for them all. They went to a Court of Awards Ceremony (think Eagle Scouts) where they were honored for being the only Brownie troop there and helped one of the Gold Award recipients to get her Award by attending her Baton Twirling camp. And because it was a formal event, the girls all got dressed up in nice dresses and had a really nice dinner. I was so proud of X&X cuz they already knew which fork to use first, how to put their napkin on their lap and had such great manners. They were teaching the other girls. It was great for some of our girls in the troop cuz we didn't realize how many of them have never actually been to a formal dinner and didn't even have a nice dress. The girls were lending theirs out left and right. Some of the moms were really crying seeing their "babies all grown up". hehe pretty funny.

FUNTASTICKS

For working so hard selling cookies, the whole troop voted to go to a place called Funtasticks, very similar to Scandia, but MUCH smaller. They had a really great time. We took the whole troop to Olive Garden beforehand and then spent a couple hours here where they had unlimited use of the whole park. They were all so beat afterward! Congrats girls on selling so many cookies! They earned a lot of money for our troop to use for next year.

And we earned a lot of pounds to support them, Sounds like fun and that Xoe and Xanthe are way ahead of their age in etiquette, your a good mommy I am glad you are having another one to teach good etiquette too, I am sure your future son will grow up to be quite the gentleman.
