What a time we had!
Those Girl Scouts sure do know how to camp! The place was amazing and the activities for the girls even more so. The whole day was pirate themed. The girls made treasure chests and swords. They learned to fence and shoot a bow and arrow. There was a bounce house and blow-up slide. They also did a scavenger hunt, learned camp fire songs and so much more! The best part, Bethany had a BLAST. She wants to go again next year.
Originally we were suppose to sleep in cabins. At the last minute that fell through and we had to spend the night in tents. ACK! It didn’t help that the forecast was predicting lots of rain and thunderstorms. But we made it! I was so proud of Bethany. She was amazing. The day had completely wiped her out so she fell asleep first! Yes it rained. Poured actually. And there was lightning and thundering. But all the girls did great. And yes, I did manage to get some sleep but it wasn’t much. But was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! I loved spending time with my sweetie girl and she made me the proudest mommy ever! I think I realized all at once, that she is growing up pretty fast but I couldn’t be happier about the young girl she has become. In two short years, she has gone from a shy, scared girl, to a smart, confident young lady. I’m one lucky mama!
