June 27
We returned to Wild Waves and after a few turns on the rides, we hit the waterslides before heading back home. Definitely a trip to remember, and a great way to end our journey together. I'll miss these amazing girls!

Day 177: Seattle
June 26
We spent today touring Seattle, both above and below. We did the Underground Tour (which I highly recommend), a Duckboat tour, and we rode to the top of the Space Needle. We also had an adventure in the world's weirdest McDonald's. Another great day!
Day 176: The Disk"o"
June 25
We took Vicki's Girl Scout troop on their last hurrah - a three-day trip to the Seattle area. Our first stop was the Wild Waves amusement park, where we enjoyed some rides before the rain hit, drenching the unfortunate group of girls who were stuck on the roller coaster. The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent swimming in the hotel pool, eating a huge buffet dinner, and playing laser tag. I'd say it was a pretty successful first day.

Day 163: The Last Ones
June 12
I finally finished off the last box of Girl Scout cookies. Now I have to wait until next February for more.
Day 156: Their Last Parade
June 5
After seven years, Vicki's Girl Scout troop is dissolving. These girls' interests are changing and they're moving on to different things. We've always walked in the Junior Rose Festival Parade, and they chose to do it again one last time. I'm going to miss these girls!

Day 130: Water Balloon Toss
May 10
The middle school had a half day today, so we had a BBQ with our Girl Scouts and planned our trip to Seattle. Then we made them throw water balloons at each other.

Day 111: Grow
April 21
We had a Girl Scout meeting today, and the girls turned these giant cans into planters using scraps of paper and pictures in magazines. This one was my favorite.

Day 85: FBI
March 26
The girls completed their Special Agent badge, so today we took a field trip to the local FBI office for a tour. We weren't allowed to bring any cameras, cell phones, or recording devices of any kind in with us, but they did let us take a few pictures outside before we left.

Day 65: DNA
March 6
Vicki and her friend Ali are leading their Girl Scout troop in the Special Agent badge. One of the activities was to extract their own DNA. We followed the instructions found here.
Day 60: The Sprinkler
March 1
Vicki was passing the time at a slow booth sale by entertaining me with her sweet dance moves.

Day 47: How Can You Say No?
February 16
Is it possible to resist these two cute Daisies? Especially when one of them is dressed as a giant Girl Scout cookie?

This is how I'll be spending the next three weekends.

Both troops met together today, and the Cadettes gave the Daisies some pointers on how to set up a good cookie booth.

My poor co-leader is stuck with piles of cookies in her living room until March.

Day 10: Getting Ready...
January 10
Girl Scout cookie sales are about to being! This is the letter Lexi wrote for Chris to share with his co-workers. We have to make sure to let them know ahead of time when the girls will be coming in to sell cookies. Otherwise, somebody else's daughter might sneak in ahead of us!

Day 298: Spooky Story
October 24
Lexi led Ellie's Girl Scout meeting again today, and she read them a spooky story about "Poor Joe", whose body parts kept falling off. She had the "body parts" in paper sacks for the girls to feel - carrots for toes, peeled grapes for eyeballs, spaghetti for brains. Gross and fun all at the same time!
