Girl Scout Camp. Girl Scout Camp.

We have just completed day two of Girl Scout Camp, where I am princess D's adult unit leader. Lucky for me, Mickey Mouse (our teen) does the leading. The girls all have proclaimed her their best friend. The weather, while scorching yesterday, was quite pleasant today and supposed to maintain decent temps and sunshine until we're done. I hope so!
Day one was getting to know you, set up, and the worm lady. Worm Lady?
Yes, a nice lady with a compost bin, complete with worms, in her garage came around to each group to have a "worm petting zoo" and talk about composting & recycling. It made the girls day, nothing like squirmy and helpful. They can related to that.
Today was our HORSE day, and the girls just couldn't have been more excited. REAL horses, and they were going to ride them! Miss D, true to form was the first one to speak up.
"I want a BIG horse!" And so the smallest rider got the biggest horse. Such spunk that girl has!
Painting in the morning, horses after lunch, and learning how to open and close a pocket knife can really wear a girl down though. She slept all the way home.
Tomorrow is day 3, our big walking day, with four activities scheduled. Can't wait to see how it goes.
