First Day of School!

Miriam & Ms. Baldock
I hope all the girls had a great first day of school!

I just got back from Houston where I visited the Girl Scout shop and picked up lots of great things to kick our year off right. We will be working hard this year on our theme -Friendship. There are try-its to earn, books to read, and field trips to take :)

See you soon :)

Big Summer Adventures

Monte Alban

Just back from travels to Oaxaca and South Padre.

Oaxaca was full of Artisan interviews and fiestas. The incredible things we saw, photographed and filmed overshadowed the exhaustion of being continuously on the go, missing US diet coke, and cheeseburgers :)

We took over 4,000 pictures and 30 hours of video...Chrissy (in this pic. with me) already has a great sample of pics. in her Flickr account.


Miriam got to go with me on the South Padre trip! South Padre was all about filming the release of hundreds of baby Kemp's Ridley sea turtles :) Of course, now we are all hoping our babies are safe in the midst of hurricane Dolly!

You can see more pictures from our Sea Turtle Adventure here...

The TIDES blog gives some "official" updates about these two trips.

Camp Wrap Up

It was great to see our very happy, very tired, and only slightly dirty girls last Thursday! We really enjoyed the talent show. It sounds like we have lots of new songs to learn - I know Bazooka Bubble Gum was a hit.

Here are some videos from the camp talent show...



150 great camp stories and a corn dog later...

Remeber to Roar Today!

Androcles and The Lion
SFA Summer Repertory Theatre

SFA's production of Androcles and the Lion was a big hit with those of us who attended Friday night's production. There was much laughter, a few roars, and a mad dash to meet the lion!

Enjoy a few more pictures here...

Day Camp

From all the stories and my extremely tired child, it sounds like day camp was a success!

I know at least Miriam had the privilege of tipping over a canoe, doing archery, making under the sea crafts, learning how to do a flag ceremony, learning new songs, and making new friends.

If anyone has pictures, then I would love to add them to our blog.

Next stop...summer camp! Watch out Hipper, troop 1383 is headed your way.
