Sweeping Through Life

The little lady and I had a busy, busy, but memorable weekend. Remember last week I said that I was doing something that I said that I would never do, so here it is....camping!   FRIDAY --The busy weekend began with a Girl Scout Baseball Game and Overnight at Huntington Field.  Of course, we had nothing for camping out. Luckily, I have friends and neighbors that have camping supplies that I can use. The girls in Gabby's troop dressed in their Girl Scout shirts and participated in the Girl Scout parade on the field before the game began, which they loved see themselves on the big screen. Then it was game time, to be honest, most of the girls were not that interested in the game except for when they were eating nachos and ice cream while dancing to the intermittent music that was being played. When the game was over the real fun began, it was camp out time. The thing about Columbus is that everything happens in one area and usually at the same time. This was the case on th...

There was so much to do and see.  I was happy to see all the girls there, from  different cities and races that only cared about nothing else but that the other girl was a Girl Scout and how patches she had. It gave me a chance to really see what Girl Scouts is really all about especially now that the Miss G is a Daisy. We explored all that there was to offer from the S.T.E.M programs that they had to all ages to participate in. There was also a service project that all the attendees could help with from stuff hygiene bags to writing  a cheerful note for the families at the YMCA family center. Miss G was so excited and could not wait to go from thing to thing. She enjoyed spending time at the NASA and the COSI exhibits and interacting with all of the science experiments and technology present that she could work on. Including all...
