Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
This is one happy girl. She got her Girl Scout Cookie credit today! She now has $60 to spend on Twilight Camp registration or at the Girl Scout Store. Thanks to everyone who bought cookies from Laura either in individual sales or from a cookie booth. She reached her goal of 300 boxes!
It is school field trip week for the kids. Laura goes to Onondaga Cave on Tuesday and John goes to the St. Louis Zoo on Thursday. The reminder letters came home from school on Friday and we planned lunches and snacks so that I know what to make. 🙂
Today, we packed up the truck and drove to Hannibal, MO, to Mark Twain Cave and Campground for the Spring Cub Scout Campout.
The kids played with their friends and we all just enjoyed being outdoors.
This weekend proved that Missouri weather in May is fickle. It was chilly – even getting down into the thirties overnight. Laura was happy to have her Girl Scouts beanie hat to keep her head warm.
We had the traditional campout dinner of pork steaks, chicken, and potatoes. Always yummy cooked over a campfire!
We ended the evening around the campfire with s’mores and chatting. What a fun day!
Laura went to a Girl Scout meeting and came home with lots of new patches from Court of Awards…
…while John played baseball in the rain!
Andy decided to upgrade his computer and he is hard at work putting it all together. I suspect that I will see very little of him this evening…
This is Laura’s gymnastics photo collage. My beautiful gymnast who is improving with every class!
Tonight was IGE in Action night at Ridgeway Elementary School. We got to visit the kids’ classrooms and see various projects that they have been working on. We stopped in John’s room first and he showed us his project on Tiger Sharks. He made a book and a t-shirt.
Next, we visited Laura’s classroom. She chose to do a project on Ulysses S. Grant. I was very proud of her because she did all the research herself and only needed a little help with getting the pages to stick to the project board.
It was great to see all the finished projects! A nice evening that was a neat showcase for individually guided education!
