Happy Birthday, Daisy!

Today some of our area Girl Scouts celebrated Juliette Gordon Low's birthday (details on JGL here). She was the founder of the Girl Scouts. I learned a few things today at Luci's Daisy-Brownie-Junior-Cadet bash. For one, Juliette's nickname was "Daisy," therefore the youngest Girl Scouts go by the name of Daisy. Luci is a Daisy.

First, there was circle time.

Then, lots of crafts!  The girls worked at six different stations.

Luci, in her party dress (because, you know, Mama, it's a party) had a lot of fun at the "old-fashioned games" station.  She was a blur in the sack races.  She was also the only girl in a dress, and she didn't care one bit. Because she was dressed appropriately, in her mind.  In my mind, too.

And, our girl was the champion of the Daisies in the Hula-Hoop contest.  Here are the winners from the other age groups, along with Luci.

Afterwards, Luci stepped it up a notch and hula'd with two hoops...until another Daisy tried it.

Then Luci moved on to three hoops...and the little adversary came up with three, also.  See her in the background?

Not to be outdone, Luci went to FIVE...the other girl went back for more...

and gave up when Luci wowed everyone by hula-hooping with EIGHT hoops.  That's my girl!

I think she's a bit competitive.  Maybe.
