Girl Scout Camporee

This weekend was the Girl Scout Camporee. We had heard about how fun it was so we signed up as a family, even though nobody else from my Daisy Troop was interested. They are a little young. Anyway, things were crazy this week and Anneli wasn't feeling well. Stupid Lyme Disease! We decided not to sleep out on Friday night, but we would get there Saturday morning and hang out for the day.
That is just what we did. We got there at about 8:30am and went on a hike with our 5th Grade Junior Friends. They happen to have a son that Christopher knows from Cub Scouts too! It was fun.

Next up was stations where the kids did a bunch of different arts and craft projects. They were fun too!

The best part of the day was when they opened the waterfront! It was SUPER hot! We all had a blast using the kayaks and paddle boats! Super fun!







The kids also fished with our neighbors. Thanks Rosa and Tal! :)



The kids, especially Anneli, was exhausted after that! So we piled in the car and took a quick ride to Massachusetts to check out the Tornado devastation in central Massachusetts. It was terrible! It has hard to believe that as you drove through the streets of Sturbridge, Brimfield, Monson and Springfield that you were in Massachusetts. These types of disasters happen in the midwest, not here in our backyard....
