What Can a Girl Do?

Day 4.....

And never to be outdone....today I am thankful for Girl Scouts!!

I seriously never thought I'd be a Girl Scout Leader, but here I am in my 5th year as either an assistant leader or leader and loving every minute of it!

Me and my girls have experienced so many wonderful things through Girl Scouts! They have both done things that they never would have even considered if it hadn't been through Girl Scouts!

Kayleigh braved her fear of heights and ventured up into the tress on a ropes course last year!

We have sold cookies (many, many boxes of cookies), we've been to encampments, lodge camping trips, slept with the dolphins, sang songs, and even rocked the national mall with 200,000 other Girl Scouts! 

I am thankful for what this organization is giving to girls...thankful that they know they are just as good at everything as boys are....even peeing standing up, which both of my girls can do now (in the woods)!

I am thankful for the many families and girls that I get to be a part of their lives....thankful that they have stuck by me through transitions and thankful that we are still going strong as a troop!!

This year we will begin our Bronze Award, sleepover at the first ever "National Girl Scout Cookie Sleepover", sleep in a cavern, go snow tubing...and all this among all the regular Girl Scout things we do!

(on a side note, I realized with this post that we are missing a lot of pictures....got to ask the hubby about that)
