A while ago now I went camping with girl scouts. It was like two weeks ago. I know, I'm so bad. Sorry.
Anyway it was really good. We stayed in the A-Frames at Cedarledge. I always thought it would be fun to name the different sites at girl scout camp with the fake indian names and such. Kiamecia. Tanda. Ahwenasa.
We did horses and got a tour of the barn and learned how to groom a very pretty horse named Phoenix. All the wranglers are really nice. Fun. The horses are so old and used to the trails you barely have to direct them. Seriously. It was still a really nice time.
So then we went canoeing. It drizzled. Bree (who has her own blog now but I like her fake name so much I'm keeping it) and I basically just paddled out into the middle of the lake and watched the rain fall and make circles because it was really really amazingly beautiful. And not that wet either.
We were supposed to have archery Saturday too but Kiamecia missed their time at one so they stole our time. Everything worked out okay; we got to do it the next morning instead. But. That was not really very nice or fair of them to do that. I was a lot better this time, though. I popped like seven balloons! I also figured out that I shoot better left handed. Which make total sense since I'm left-eyed. Duh.
Overall it was really good. Besides the rude people at Luckystone right across from us and the archery mix-up, it was nearly perfect. The weather, the people (I like the people that were in my cabin; it turned out good), there were like no bugs.
(Bridgett and Bree both wrote about this too, about two weeks ago)

GS Camping
This time I have pictures.
My daisy friend was Laney (not her real name...) . She was so cute!
The beds. I was next to Abigail and on the other side of me were the Bridget[t]s.
The shower house was next door. But, if you use the shower house, you have to clean the shower house.
We stayed at Petite Chalet, which according to Genevieve means small castle in french. I think that is hilarious for whatever reason.
The fake Indian names are pretty funny too. Like, we stayed next to Tanda, Ahwenasa, and Kiamecia, all permanent tents. Heh.
The daisies came out for the day but didn't stay the night. We climbed up a 'mountain' on Pioneer Trail, elevation like 815 feet or something. Poor daisies. Then after that we went on a creek walk where most girls found interesting rocks and fossils, which of course had to be shared afterwards. Molly found a wolf spider, so of course everyone had to crowd around and get their look at something that might bite them and really hurt. Bah, who cares about safety?
So then the daisies went home and there was an all-camp campfire. Luckily, I got to stay behind with one of the Bridgets. Phew. And that was fun.
In the morning it was fantastic because nobody got up and stomped around and slammed doors or whispered so loud that you would be able to hear them with your fingers in your ears. It was good. Then we (the juniors, not brownies--that's against the rules) did archery. Mrs. Wissinger was happy with Cedarledge's equipment, I think. They actually had a bow stringer, unlike Tuckaho who had a bucket with everything thrown in it. Good. Only thing was, the targets were SO easy to hit 'cause they were only like less than 15 feet (or something, I'm bad at judging distances) away. But it was good.
And I had fun. That's the important part, right???
PS My science project got a blue ribbon!!!!

RDKWTWA
Really Don't Know What To Write About. RDKWTWA. Yup. It seems like I just had something looming in the back of my head, but I can't remember now!
Oh, okay, I have something now. Girl Scouts!
Cookies, cookies, cookies, COOKIES! I love them! Selling them is fun, but eating them is better. So--indulgent. I pick them up tomorrow!!! So, if you ordered cookies from me, they're coming! I sold 135 boxes, but I could of done better. Abigail was selling cookies this year. AARG.
And, we have a meeting on Sunday. A talent show or demonstration. I don't know what to do! (Help, Bridgett!? Well, maybe my dad can teach me a new song on the guitar.) And we have archery coming up sometime soon! (Love the picture?) Still working on the bronze award. Fun fun fun.
But, ohhh. I can't wait for cookies!
