Girl Scout Camping Spring 2018

On May 5th, I took Elsa's girl scout troop out on another awesome camping adventure.  After meeting up at Addison, we drove only 20 minutes to the Foothills Park. Once there, the girls quickly set to work building their tents.
Once the tents were built, it was time to play.  The girls really liked a game they called river tag.  They also went on a 2 mile hike.
After hiking was done, it was time to make dinner.  They chopped up the vegetables, then we started a fire, packed the vegetables in foil and made packets to heat by the fire.
 The girls BBQed Hot Dogs and had a nice dinner. Once the dishes were done, it was time for dessert.
 Roasting marshmallows was fun, but I think they also really liked the spooky story time!
The girls had fun in their tents playing human dominos and other tent games.  At 9, we left the tents to go watch the stars. 
 Morning came too soon, and with morning it was time for breakfast.
Then more play.  They created hill trails, calling them things like Mt. Fuji, Mt. Everest, Mt. Girl Scout, and Mt. Marshmallow.
 It was so great to watch the girls really come together, working and having fun. 
 And it was awesome to have moms that helped make this a magical weekend for the girls.
