Brynn had her first Girl Scout camping trip this weekend. I didn't want to miss it... I spent plenty of time at camp as a Girl Scout and I think Brynn and I were equally excited for the trip. So we headed up to the campground mid-day Saturday; it is about an hour from our house. Brynn wanted to get her soccer trophy so we arrived later than the other girls.
Brynn and 5 of her fellow Daisy Scouts enjoyed S'mores by the campfire (using GS cookies... YUM!), learning to tie knots and fold flags, hiking through the woods, and just hanging out with each other.
Brynn tolerated sweeping up the porch of the activity house, having to keep quiet during the flag ceremony, and not being able to snack on her schedule.
The bugs were bad but the company was great. Brynn's favorite parts were using her new flashlight, watching the movie out in the stars, and being silly with her bunkmate Carter... we pushed two bunk beds together and they were on the top while Carly and I nibbled on sweet treats below. No surprise, but I am pretty sure night owl Brynn kept the other three cabins (basically a screened in porch with three metal bunk beds) of Daisies and their moms awake a bit later than they planned! But, you know what, I wasn't going to shush her too much... she was having a blast and, well, being tired the next day is just part of the whole camping experience!
Can't wait to do it all again next year!

Glad you girls had a good time.
I don't think we should have to wait until next year........I think a fall camping trip is in order. Also, I am thrilled to see that once again you captured Carter's photogenic side : ~ )
