Girl Scouts--Volunteering and Painting

Today, our girls had the opportunity to participate in two different activities.

The church, where my co-leader attends and I have been visiting, was volunteering to help build a local house with Habitat for Humanity.  We learned that our girls were not old enough to assist with the building b/c one must be 16, so we asked if there was anything we could do to assist.  There was! We brought and served lunch to all the volunteers today.  We had sandwiches, pickles, chips, cookies, tea, and water.  The girls were able to meet some of the church members as well as learn just a wee bit about Habitat for Humanity.  They also met the family that will be moving into the house.  We were invited back to the dedication this summer. The girls thought it was really neat to see the skeleton of the house before it was move-in ready.  They can't wait to go back to see it all finished.

We had a little time to spare, so we let the girls play at McDonald's.  They had an indoor play area on this warm, humid day. They got to enjoy an ice cream one too.


We spent the afternoon painting.  A local teacher/painter taught the girls how to paint owls.  They are so cute, and we had a ton of fun!
