CHANTI'S GIRLSCOUT CAMPING WEEKEND- Part 1






August 29, 2009

Five days after starting our new school year, Chanti going into 2nd Grade and Colette into 4th Grade, Chanti and I had to go on a camping weekend with her Brownie, Girl Scout Troop. There were 16 girls and their moms and we met at the campsite, about 1 1/2 hours northwest of Batavia. We had a log cabin and the bare necessities (outhouse in the woods....eugh :) Once we all settled, we went on a hike through the woods collecting several items for the collage the girls needed to prepare. Then we played games, played ball, danced and enjoyed each other's company. Our troop leader, Sherri, was very enthusiastic, having come from a long line of Girl Scouts, telling us that this was just an introduction of what camping is all about....but for many of us moms and girls, it seems this is the only introduction we need, thank you!
