Girl Scouts

Hi! As I have started my posts many times, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I really try to post every week but it seems like I post every few weeks. Today I'm talking about what's been happening lately in girl scouts. Our troop has done some really fun things lately. Of course it's girl scout cookie time. I've been out selling boxes. So far I've sold 206 boxes. That's a record for me. Not only has our troop been selling girl scout cookies, but we went to winter fest at Trefoil Ranch (that's a girl scout camp). It was so much fun. I have some great pictures.

In the basement of the lodge we did archery.
Here I am getting into position.

Getting a good aim.

We also went snowshoeing. It was so cool. I had never done it before.

Here I am. Do you see the snowshoes?

Here's Troop 354

We also did pottery on the second floor of the lodge. It was really fun. I made a mask for myself and a bowl with a snake in it for Travis. I also made a mouse for Minnie. By the time I got the second ear to stick to the mouse, an eye had rubbed off it.

Here I am. I'm an artist at work.

There were many competitions. There was a snow skulpting competition. There was a snowflake making competition. There was a snow painting competition (that was the only one we got pictures of) and many more we didn't enter.

Here I am with my beautiful picture.

The next picture you are going to see is of something so cool.


Look at the ice skulpture. Isn't it awesome!

The winter fest was so fun. Sadly, there was a little incident and I went home. Another girl went home too because she wasn't feeling too great. Thanks so much for visiting the Happy Halls. I hope you come again soon.

Christmas

Hi! I'm back. Sorry I haven't been posting. Today as you can tell by the title I'm talking about Christmas. Some of these pictures my dad took. I only took a few pictures because my camera kept on having problems. We drove up to my grandparents' house in Idaho on Christmas Eve.

Christmas was so fun. I got and gave so many wonderful presents.

Look at those stockings!

Look at us!

Look at those presents!


We stayed for a few more days in Idaho. We went to three movies. We had sooo much fun. It was sad when we had to leave. I feel like I should post more this week since I haven't posted in a while. So tomorrow I'm going to try to post again. Thanks for visiting the Happy Halls.
