Kylie, Kayla, Cortney, Morgan, Jazmine, Breanna, Katie, Mackenzie, & Lindsay made earned Advantage Troop Camping, the Brownies earned Camping & Games For Life, Juniors earned Outdoors in the City & Outdoor Cook.
we tried games kids play in the city....double dutch, stickball, frisbie, & skully. we made s'more, sun tea, Gorp, ziploc bag ice cream, & strawberry sun jam. we talked about wildlife & gardening in the city. We decorated camp mini buttons & made native rock necklaces. We set up our camp site, picked out who went in what tent...(big girls, little girls), sang campfire songs, the girls played at the park & made music videos. we tried to sleep outside, the bullfrogs were loud...the horse across the road stomping was loud...the train was loud...the crickets were loud...the kids talking at the park after hours were loud...the fireworks were loud...the big girls gave it up about 1:30 a.m., the little girls soon followed,then Kylie & I. took them a while to settle down, but eventually everyone got a little bit of sleep.
what will the girls remember most? Cortney kissing a frog to see if he'd turn into Justin Bieber? Kayla's spectacular fall into the water puddle? the skeleton Mackenzie drew for her Skully course? the roly poly house Jazmine & Kylie made? shrieking in the dark? Jazmine trying to scare the big girls? how grouchy Ms. Deb was?
