Girl Scout Camping

Super fun weekend with Rosie's Girl Scout troop!!! I have to mention first that Marlene, Carrie & I helped raise $9300 on Friday during the first Music Trivia at St. MM!!! We threw it together at the last minute because we needed one more fundraiser at school with the economy in such despair. We did great & even had an anonymous donor give $4200 with a company match to come over in 6 months. We are so excited!! We made awesome t-shirts for the workers, great music trivia & people are still commenting on how fun it was!! Yeah!
OK - back to Girl Scouts! We camped in Steelville, MO at the Petry "lodge." The lodge is their home away from home (80 acres, beautiful setting, great house), so we were not really "camping" since we slept inside. The girls made the meals (mostly), cleaned up, took a LONG hike, got lots of tics, made God's eyes, practiced knot tying & had fun with each other. The adults had fun too - I am definitely going to make "brown bears" at home - the best cinnamon sugar dessert ever!!!
Can't remember their troop # but here are 9 of the 14 (a few couldn't make the trip). Nicole got them matching bandanas & we needed them - it was a warm weekend plus it kept the tics out of our hair.

You can see that the scenery was amazing, but this patio was incredible! From this vantage point, it looks like the girls are hanging on for dear life! Pretty funny!

On the hike - we made it to the river!
