Our weekend madness continues. Between Six Flags, an ice cream party, a birthday party, a baseball game, and church we have hardly had time to be at home in the past 72 hours. Sure enough, after church today, we headed over to Finch Park for an end-of-year party and awards ceremony for Crisana’s daisy scout troop.
The parents all came and everyone brought food to share. The grill masters cooked burgers and hot dogs while the kids played in the splash pad or on the playground. From our vantage point at the pavilion we had a perfect view of all the goings-while being far enough away not to have to listen to it!
It wasn’t long before the girls discovered the ring pops. And as everyone knows, a ring pop is good for one thing and one thing only: being a pacifier.
Everyone hung out and played and ate to our hearts’ content.
We recognized the volunteer parents and girls who will be graduating from our Daisy troop into a Brownie troop next year, and welcomed in two new families whose daughters will be joining our troop in the upcoming year. As a final celebration, each girl received a package of patches, including her Daisy petals. Crisana also received a patch for participating in the Connor’s books program, a patch for selling over 100 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, a patch for World Thinking Day, and a “fun” patch to celebrate continuing in Girl Scouts that says “Still a Girl Scout.”
And with that, our weekend madness was complete. Now on to home for a few hours’ rest before Twilight Camp begins tomorrow. The life of a Scouting mom is never boring!
