From Daisies to Brownies

Our little Girl Scouts are growing up! I don't know where the last 2 years have gone, but they just graduated from Daisies to Brownies. Wow!

It has been such a privilege and honor to be with these girls. They are all very sweet and very kind-hearted. Alyssa and I try teach them things like; self respect, safety, independence, discovering who they are and what they value; connecting with others; and taking action to make the world a better place. We try to encourage them to always believe in themselves and that the work of today is the history of tomorrow, and we are it's makers.

Troop 45512 ROCKS!

On Sunday we had a Bridging Ceremony to honor their hard work as Daisies and "bridge" over into becoming Brownies. Parents, siblings and even Grand-Parents came to celebrate with us.

 We make lots of time for "goofiness" too!

 Each girl was called across the bridge where they put on their very special Brownie vests and retired their Daisy vests...

 Alyssa and I both were teary-eyed as each girl came across and we hugged them.

 Ta-Da!

 Introducing...Brownie Troop 45512!

We were missing one sister girl scout, but had her in our hearts and have her Brownie vest waiting for her.

We love you Ava and will see you soon!

 After the bridging ceremony, we had a yummy feast!

 The girls enjoyed chasing Griff around, playing in the water and playing in the park.

Alyssa and I are looking forward to another great journey with these gals!
