Courageous and Strong

Today, the girls earned their red petal-courageous and strong.  We talked about what it means to be courageous.  We also talked about what it takes to be strong. 

 We had a very nice ZUMBA instructor come to our meeting to teach us a couple of ZUMBA dances.  She first talked about fitness to the girls.  Exercising and eating the right foods.

 Then, it was time to get up and start moving!

 The girls had a blast!  They were laughing and giggling!

I think everybody was getting a little sweaty.  Just to mention, the art room is very HOT when we are not exercising!  hahaha!

 A nice group photo with our guest speaker.

 Here they are showing off their muscles!

 This picture was for the Daisy troop in Vermont that we are trading SWAPS with.

It looks like we have some flowers starting to sprout.  YAY!  The girls should be bringing them home this week.  Continue to water and take care of them.  Would love to see pictures when the flowers actually bloom.

May 21st Meeting

For this meeting, we are not going to be working on a petal.  We are going to be having some FUN tie dying a t-shirt!  They will be receiving a fun patch for this meeting!  T-shirts will be provided by the troop.  I hope to do something like this shirt with our troop number on it.

I would like the girls who are going to be participating in the West Bend Memorial Day parade, wear these shirts under their uniform.  We will be sending the parade information home with them on this day.

Hope the girls are having fun!  We only have 1 more meeting after May 21st.
