Serendipity

That is the title of the Mother Daughter Girl Scout camping weekend at Camp Meriweather.  Both girls and I went for the weekend.  It was so nice to get away with them.  Rachel was the only Cadette from our troop to attend.  It worked out well because Hannah was really more into doing things with her Brownie friends, so I had some quality time with Rachel.

Here Rachel and I are playing Nertz!  Rachel was so relaxed.  I think it was because her friends weren't around and she could just be herself.  Even her mom making silly faces didn't embarrass her.

The girls also got to make their own clay beads, try basket weaving, make survival bracelets and of course make smores.  One of their troop specific activities is doing Who-hair.  The girls take all kinds of hair ties, flowers and pipe cleaners and try to make the best Who-hair...think Dr. Seuss.  Rachel was so sweet with the younger Scouts.  She helped them fix their hair and then graciously let them fix her hair.
