Annabelle went to her first girl scout camp and absolutely loved it. She was joined by four other girls in her troop. I was nervous about this one because it was quite outdoorsy and I wasn’t sure how she would feel about that. They hiked, cooked for themselves over an open fire, did a lot of crafts and the last night they had a sleepover. She said it was her favorite camp all summer.
While Annabelle was off at Girl Scout camp, Gwyneth attended Animals Galore pottery camp at Crackpots. This is right up her alley and she was pretty darn happy.
When you attend a camp at Crackpots you get a free studio fee for yourself and a friend to come in and paint. Gwyneth talked me in to an extra afternoon of painting. I painted an “M” and she painted a fabulous GG penguin.
The last night of camp involved a sleepover. Annabelle was so excited to stay and would’t have missed it. They had to stay in the rec building because the fairgrounds were flooded. She didn’t care at all. Her and her buddy, Morgan shared a full size air mattress and she had some great stories to share from the night. I’m so proud of her for stepping out of her element and going for it….and loving it!
Annabelle gave her friend Julia a gift card to Whimsy for her birthday. They spent the morning painting Minions.
Gwyneth gave Essy a gift card for her birthday too. These two have spent more time together this summer and they are really funny. I get such a kick out of them. Hard to believe they have known each other since pre-school days.
