1st Girl Scout Campout

Well for the first campout we did a backyard campout. The girls had a blast. Some have never had a sleepover and some have never slept in a tent. A couple of mom's were worried that their daughters would want to go home and not spend the night, but leave it to us leaders to do such a good job that no one wanted to leave.

Getting the campfire started..

Setting up the tent...

Dinner time, roasting hotdogs on the fire

Playing simon says...

A game of leap frog....

And of course no campout is complete without Samores...Yummy!

Time for bed (of course they didn't actually go to sleep until 11:30). We fit all 9 girls in the tent with room for one leader. Stacie and I drew sticks and she won the opportunity to sleep with the girls. Only I don't think she got any sleep. She said the wiggled all night and one woke up wondering where she was. LOL The other leader and I slept in a seperate tent. I actually got some sleep.

The next morning. LOL The girls were up at 6:15 am and very loud so we had to move them into the house before we woke the neighborhood.

And our last activity was making situpons. Now we have something to sit on when we go to events.
I think the girls made some great memories from this trip. Alexis told me she thought we were just having a sleepover, but when she found out we were camping the in the back yard she was thrilled.
