Last Kindergarten Daisy Meeting

This past Monday the girls in Alex's Daisy group were invited to a garden party held by another Daisy girl scout group.  The girls had fun enjoying cupcakes, singing songs, and planting some flowers in a garden.  This was great because a few of the girls in the other girl scout troop were Alex's preschool friends that she doesn't get to see very often and this was the last time she got to see them before moving.  She made so many good friends in Atlanta, we are sad to leave them, but know she will make some good new friends in Des Moines.

Girl Scout Smores

This past weekend Alex had a fun girl scouts activity put together by the Dunwoody Nature Center.  Alex and her friends had so much fun!  One of her favorite parts was making smores in the sun. 

I have never done this and it is such a cute idea.  The only materials they needed were:
cup, rocks (to keep the cup from flying away in the wind), paper, aluminum foil, graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate.  The aluminum foil was placed over the paper and then folded like a funnel with the aluminum foil on in the inside of the funnel and taped at the bottom  Then the girls placed a graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate on top and waited for the chocolate to melt.  It really only took a few minutes before the chocolate was melted.

Here is Alex enjoying her yummy smore!  I am going to try this again at another girl scout meeting since a few of the girls couldn't make it.  It was a it with the kids!

Swaps

Yesterday, Alex had a Girl Scout Daisy Meeting and then went to a Super Swap Saturday Event put on by another Girl Scout troop.    Swaps are little pins that girl scouts make to give to each other.  Swaps is an acronym which stands for: Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere.

Alex and her friends had a lot of fun and I got a few craft ideas for later in the year.  Click below for pictures:
