Laura finished up another Girl Scout Brownie badge today. The girls had the option of working on the “My Family” badge over their winter school break. Laura said it was really fun to learn all about our family. One requirement for the badge was to make a family tree. She and Andy did that part together because Andy already has a lot of our family tree completed. Another requirement was to share about an item that is special to our family. Laura chose to talk about our clock, which was made by my Grandpa Otto.
The final requirements were to make a family dish and share it at a potluck with the rest of her Brownie troop. Laura helped me make an apple pie using the crust recipe that both my Grandmother and Mom used. She actually did most of the work on the pie crust though she declared that using the rolling pin was hard because she “couldn’t push down hard enough.”
The potluck dinner with her Brownie troop was great! Getting to sample all the family dishes and hearing the stories about the dishes was really neat. I am so glad that the girls had the opportunity to complete this badge.
We finished the day with a cookie meeting. Yes, it is that time of year again! Girl Scout Cookie sales start tomorrow! If you want to order from Laura, just let me know. There are eight different cookies this year. She has a goal of 200 boxes and I really want to help get her there. I can even ship the cookies to you if you are out of town!
