Vetern's Day Parade

My Brownie troop is amazing!!! They definatly have the spirit of a Girl Scout. We do alot of things and there paticipation is wonderful. We attended the Veter's Day parade on Tuesday and the girls did a GREAT job. They never once complained during the walk and while we were listening to the Vets at the square they were quiet and respectful. That is a tough job for 6 and 7 year olds. So I want to say thank you for again being the best troop!! Here are some pictures of that day.

My kids recieved their school pictures a few weeks back, and I just learned how to scan them onto my computer. So here they are.

Halloween pics

This is a picture of my Brownie Troop. We decided to go to a nursing home for our Halloween. We chose Manorcare mostly because they were having their fall festival on the same day as our meeting time. I must say the kids had a blast! They even got a good laugh at their Brownie leader with pink hair and the co-leader with a clown wig...lol. All of my girls dressed up and were very polite to the residents. You guys are a great troop :)!
