Girl Scout "Mommy and Me" campout!

Okay, okay, okay! I'm finally getting to this post.

So last weekend at this time we were on a freezing cold hike in the mountains and on a lake! That wind was cutting! But the scenery was beautiful. Jayla had lots of time to actually get to know some of the other girls and she played some fun games and did a few cool crafts. I was with her the whole time.....she wouldn't have let me leave anyway. :) Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

The theme was polka dots, so here the girls were decorating hankies with fabric paint into dots. They were required to wear something on their head any time we were outside, and most wore a hanky or hat all weekend.
Flag cermony. Jayla is the small one in the blue shirt.

Being silly in bed, trying to wind down the first night.

The girls made pudding in ziplock bags and then had pudding in cones for a snack. They were all being silly in this picture. All of these girls are 1st graders.


All the Daisies and Brownies who went, minus one who was not cooperating with her mom (the Daisies leader), so she stayed behind. Jayla is the one in the front with pink sleeves in between the pink and purple coats.

Our hike out onto the lake. This is the view back toward the cabin.

They used nylon loops to make bracelets, headbands, jumpropes.....Now Jayla is showing her brothers how to make these. :)

Here is the view from the cabin down to the lake.

This was cool. Down the road there was a Boy Scout camp where they had a "ghost town" that they either built or use for projects, we guessed. They also had a huge fort, pirate ship and a castle!





Then we had a bonfire. We were too far away from it to really feel any heat. :(


And then we ended our trip with a few last pictures of our group. We had a great time!
