Girl Scouts Carolling

Today was the Girl Scouts Christmas party and the girls also went Christmas carolling to a Senior Citizens home. The weather was F-F-F-Freeezing! We walked from scouts to the Senior home, it was an uncomfortable walk with temps in the 1's and wind chills in the negative teens! I think the seniors enjoyed the songs so it was worth it. There were 22 homeschooled girl scouts from little Daisy's- tween and teen Cadettes. Plus a couple siblings like Tristan. I knew he would want to go along since he loves singing.

I had to take photos of Tristan for the blog even though Hayley is the girl scout. Both singing and at the party she was always with the other girls so I haven't any photos to publish. Too many close ups of other kids whom I may not have permission to publish.

Tristan on the walk back from the senior home. Jumping about to stay warm! Girls up ahead in their lines.


Time to greet and chat with the seniors after singing.
Party Time! Look at that healthy lunch...he only chose desserts!
Tristan eventually ate some of my veggies and cuumber slices so I guess there was a little goodness to his meal!
Were finding it hard to get to Girl Scouts and also finding the vision for the group may not be a good fit for us as the girls get older. They are working towards a big trip and doing lot of fundraising, which is great for those who want to take a big trip but Hayley doesn't want to travel far away without family and I guess I wouldn't want her to anyway. I suspect this may be her last year as a girl scout but we will see.

I like Tristan's dinner. LOL I understand what you are saying about girl scouts. Here they are starting some new girl scout or campfire thing that is co-ed and expect me to be very excited about it and have my kids participate...hmmmm....don't think it's for our family.

Like the photos in the sidebar. I think Trevor's looks very artistic.

Caroling sound lovely. We were supposed to go caroling last weekend, but it was way below zero and much too cold to venture out.

Cold is right! It's been frigid here lately. It looks like everyone had a great day - even very cold!
