Georgia Aquarium

Ok so my younger brother serving a mission has requested that I write in my blog. I think he would just like to see pictures of the family and play on the computer on his P-day haha! I don't mind it means at least one person is acknowledging this blogs existence. I certainly don't. ;)

Only problem is that the only pictures I have downloaded to my iPad at the moment are of last years Girl Scout trip to the Georgia Aquarium. Which was fantastic! I had so much fun! The only downside was Mae got sick right before time to go so the whole time there I was missing her terribly and thinking about how much she would have enjoyed it. 

I was able to take Liza and my youngest brother Daniel with me and we all had a really fun time. Just one tip for anyone thinking of going, take your food with you or eat elsewhere! I spent over 50.00 on just the three of us on a lunch that was nasty tasting! Blech! 

Anyhow I took way too many pictures, but I'll try to get the most fun ones in this post. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the dolphin show but it was really terrific, if your thinking of going, get a ticket for that one especially.

Ok, this thing is taking forever to load the pictures! I might only give you a few more fishy ones, then I have to go find out why the two year old is being so quiet,....! 

Mr. Poppers Penguins!! 

Teenagers are always so calm when sharks are floating up above,...hehe. 

We had recently done a Five In A Row lesson on the book Night of the Moonjellies, so Liza was super excited to see these! 

Ok I need to be done, I took hundreds of pictures, so be grateful that my iPad is so slow or you'd have to endure more torture. Hehe. 

Girl Scout Camp

On a whim, a few years ago I decided to sign Mae and Liza up for Daisy scouts. The leader is a good friend of mine and her little girls are friends with my own.

I never took part in GS and for good reason. I do not like their politics. The fact that they support planned parenthood angers me to no end. However at the time it was just a fun extra curricular activity that was harmless.

So Mae and Liza worked hard at selling cookies and earning badges, and they've made some good friends! We've also been able to go to camp up at camp WaBak, and that was A LOT OF FUN!
This last year we had quite a few cute adventures, one included gum flying out of one (wrestling) girls mouth and into Liza's hair! And then through tears having to be cut out. I still giggle when think of 'the drama!'

The girls went on hikes, found lizards, made fairy gardens, cornhusk dolls, and brackets that lit up with led lights. They had classes on insects, electricity, and made fires. It rained most of the time, so I believe the girls and the mothers learned a lot of patience.

Until we go to young women's camp in a few years this will be it for my girls, unless I decide to do 4-H camp or something. So I'm really happy they had a great time.
