Troop 1040 Spa Day

Thanks to the girls for making our Parents Spa Day amazing. I loved being pampered as I'm sure all the parents did. The hair styles were so creative and fun and I think the girls did an incredible job. I was so excited about my hour of luxury I forgot my camera so if anyone has photos they can send me of the event please do! I'd love to post them!

2011 Encampment

Encampment was amazing and once again our girls had so much fun! They sang and danced, watched movies, swam, hiked, crafted and even shot arrows!

Ok, Ms Andrea had fun too!

Natures Classroom

Our trip to Natures Classroom was so much fun. The girls enjoyed skimming for things in the water and cruising in a boat up the Hillsborough River. We went on an animal search and had a picnic lunch. It was so much fun! Thanks to all the parents and girls who participated. Here are some photos!
