Our June meeting took place outdoors at Parvin Lake. We wanted to do something nice for the community, so we decided to pick up trash around the lake. It was a lovely day for a hike, and the girls had really missed each other since school got out two weeks ago, so there was lots of giggling, chatter and fun!
We spotted some baby ducks, lots of gorgeous wild iris, and a couple of dead fish heads, which Faith willingly picked up and tossed into her bag!
When the hike was over, we headed to Sharons house for some popsicles and more girl scout fun!
The Daisies earned their last petal, which means the daisy on their uniform will now be complete! While enjoying the story, the girls all enjoyed a Robot snack break, courtesy of Kenji and Kailyn! Thanks girls...it was a cute and tasty snack!
Then it was time to work on our Father's Day gifts...painted rocks!
It was a little breezy out, which made it difficult to keep things in order, but the girls managed just fine and created some wonderful little gifts for dad!
Andrea works on her turtle trio, while Kenji shows me her Crocodile...
Here's a little crab and bee combo...
Faith painted this awesome dragon head, and Andrea painted this sparkly sun!
These paint markers were awesome...i wish i had purchased more! After testing them out today, i would happily use these instead of regular paints with the girls from now on...much neater and easier for them to work with...particularly the little ones. Of course, i would just use it for detail work...the backgrounds should still be done with regular paint, or your markers would run out too quickly!
At the end of the meeting, we handed out the prize incentives from the cookie sales, and the girls were really excited! For our first year selling cookies, the girls did really great, and there were lots of goodies to be had by all! Im looking forward to our next meeting/adventure, Sharon has something really fun planned, so stay tuned!
