My Little Daisy

This weekend I spent a lot of time with my #7.  She is in a Daisy Girl Scout troop and this weekend we had two events to attend.  
Saturday we went to the Environmental Nature Center where she learned all sorts of things about nature; different types of plants, what they need in their environment to grow, and how to make a compost out of the things we eat. 

She was not too happy about carrying around her banana peel until we got to the compost section.  

These green ferns were everywhere! I thought they were pretty.

Look how cool this place was.  I felt like I was in the middle of some huge forest.  

I half expected Robin Hood to pop out from behind a tree.

The girls collected different leaves and did a leaf rub.  Those are always fun to do.

Then on Sunday we attended the Girl Scout International Food Faire.   This is where each troop is assigned a different country, and they do a dance from their country and provide a sample of food or a craft that represents their country. Everyone then walks around to the different booths and pays a dime for a sample of food or a craft.
First you get your "passport" 

then you visit all the different countries

...and every time you visit a country, they stamp your passport.  At the end of our day, Aislynn had almost all of her countries stamped in her passport ~ there were a few that she chose not to visit ( either they had food she didn't like or a craft that she wasn't interest in)

We had a good time together this weekend!  I really enjoyed the one-on-one time with her, and I know she had a good time, too.  It must be nice to get away from the pack every now and then and be the "only child" for a few hours :)
