Since I didn't do much more for Laura's first year of Brownies other than drive her to and from meetings -- and work on a few Try-Its, the Brownie equivalent of merit badges -- I thought I'd jump in at the deep end and volunteer for Girl Scout Day Camp this summer. We start tomorrow -- the theme this year is Hawaii, hence the lei -- and the girls are beside themselves with excitement. (Julia gets to go too, as the Scouts have cleverly come up with "Pixies" to accommodate those moms with younger children who would otherwise be unable to volunteer.) As it is all day, every day this week, I'm going to take a break from blogging during the event!
Nice that some of our stuff is Project Spectrum blue, too!
Hope you all have a terrific time at day camp! It sounds wonderful! :) (Brownies and Pixies...how delightful!)

Have fun at camp. I've been a GS leader for six years now. I wish I had more moms like you to help out from time to time. My moms tend to drop and run away as fast as they can - avoiding eye contact at all times! Just kidding - mostly.

"We throw our nets into the sea/ and the little ama ama come swimming to me."
Dear merciful heaven. My kindergarten teacher taught us that one in, um, 1955.
Phew.
