Southwick's Zoo

Spent a fun day at Southwick's Zoo with the Osborne ladies today!

Halloween Party

Aiden's new Taekwondo School hosted a Halloween Party this evening, kicking it off with a bit of "Trunk-or-Treating". 

Time to Go Home Yet??

Pretty sure this hair hasn't been brushed since Friday morning.  Yikes!

We had an extra roommate in our tent last night -- a very homesick little friend.  And by morning, half the troop had joined us.  This tent IS NOT big enough for this many kids!!  Help!!

I should have taken a "before picture" of my crew on Friday afternoon, when everyone was all excited and happy about the camping trip.  Their faces looked quite different upon pulling into my driveway today!  Tired is an understatement.

Camporee

We survived the first overnight (barely).  The rain started around 10am this morning and continued until late afternoon.  It was a cold and damp at camp, but that didn't stop the girls from having a blast.

On our way to opening ceremony.

Indoor Scrabble Rock Climbing.

String Art.

Perhaps the most impressive event of the day -- high ropes course.  I think I was more scared than Bree, and I didn't even go up!

Katniss Everdeen wannabe.

Bree was kinda mad that we pitched our own tent vs. sleeping in these open air tents with the rest of her troop.  She briefly put her anger aside this morning when the girls in this tent were screaming about the "giant spiders" on the wall of their tent....  For the record - I will never sleep in these Girl Scout issued tents.  No way!  No how!  LOL! 

Camporee!

First night of our 2-Night Girl Scout Camporee at Camp Wind In the Pines in Plymouth.  Our little crew was the first to arrive.  

School Pics

Belated Back to School Shopping

Girls shopping day at the Merrimack Outlets.  We did some damage.....

#11

A belated 11th birthday celebration for my "tween" today at Roller Kingdom.  

There was a wide variety of skill level on the roller rink.  A couple of the boys were expert.  A couple were okay.  And a couple were hopeless (birthday boy included!! LOL!!).  It was rather entertaining to watch.  (In case you're wondering - no, I absolutely did not put roller skates on myself!)

Jackpot!

Someone take this girl to Vegas!!
