So many people told us how cute our shirts were and we have decided to make this year;s shirt into backpacks and work on a new design for our 2012-13 year. So get those ideas working in full speed because we need to do color and a design. If you have any ideas please share.
Our days started out bright and early at 8:30 for checkin and we are so happy that Michelle brought us her tent covering. As we do these more, we might want to invest in a troop one (Julie said we should do it with Fall Sales so there is a starting goal).
We were treated to a wonderful Flag Ceremony led by hosting Troop 323 and to see the sea of Daisies and Brownies all in matching troop shirts was so cute. We moved on to working on our Camp journals where each of our six girls documenting the happenings of camp. Some girls drew and wrote about the backed up parking lot and all likely have pictures of the rollie pollies they found. We had a corral of them on our table.
Our first station of the day was working on knots. Even though she marked her evaluation card with all frowns, Miss Katie was awesome at this. Julie and Michelle got right into knot making while Teresa and I watched from the sidelines but took some awesome pictures.
The one thing the girls didn't love was the games/relay races. They were stuck in a very sunny spot and dropped like flies after about twenty minutes. After a rest and snack break we were off on a scavenger hunt through the beautiful Wind-A-Mere grounds which after plenty of spring rain looked way different from our fall camp.
On our way back Julie sweet talked the Cupcake station into letting us go now as lunch started and we soon learned that frosting ends up every where on 6 year old girls. We also were able to get Troop 323 leader Deborah to let us do the tye dye station early as well after she saw how tired our girls were.
So we ate lunch, packed up and than headed over to the Teepees which the girls once again commented that they can't wait to sleep in there. We were treated to each of us making unique and one of a kind the dye pillow cases. I am going to wash and dry them for our meeting when the big reveal will happen.
Overall camp was fun and we had a great time though it was hot and all the girls are tired from intense weeks of school. Again, I thank Michelle and Teresa for being awesome Moms and of course Julie the super co-leader!
Finally I created a Facebook page for our troop to post stuff on as needed. You should have an invite next time you log in. Also hope we will all recover from today as a whole and see you all Monday!!!
