Jacob Hamblin Home

Not the best pictures but still a fun activity. Today we took the girls out to the Jacob Hamblin home in Santa Clara. We had a fabulous tour guide who did a great job with the girls.
Remind me the next time I go to take pictures to make sure the camera is set correctly. I had a few issues due to the fact that I didn't take it off night scene after going camping last night. These are the only 2 pictures that were not completely blurry.
We have a great group of girls to work with. It's a lot of fun to have activities with them twice a month.

Modest Dresses



On Tuesday for activity days Rachel did a lesson on modesty. The girls made modest dresses out of newspaper. They had a lot of fun.

I love the fact that at this age they know what is and isn't modest. Bikinis, short shorts and tank tops are not modest and they all know it. Let's hope they remember as they become teenagers!

Field Trip to the Police Station

Arielle, Kim, Megan, Kylee, Annie, Sydney, Victoria, Baylee, Lexee, Rachel & Bradley ready to go on the tour. For Activity Days today we took the girls to the Police Station for a tour. Now half of them want to be police women or dispatchers when the turn 21. The girls were fabulous. I've taken a smaller group of scouts on the same tour before and the girls were definitely calmer! We had a VIP give us a brief tour of the station. The coolest and most freaky thing was when an officer showed us his taser. The noise it made freaked out a couple of the kids. They also thought it was cool that the dispatchers had 5 computer screens.

Tackled By Tuesday

So yesterday was one of those days... I woke up this morning to 2 loads of dishes in the sink, a pile of laundry that never got folded, egg yolk smashed into the carpet, pony beads all over the office, clutter everywhere (was my house really completely clean just 36 hours ago?)
Sore throat, no sleep and a zillion things on my to do list meant that there was nothing on the house that got tackled yesterday.
I had activity days here yesterday afternoon. Surprisingly we had all but one girls show up so we had 15 girls, 2 leaders, 6 siblings and Bryce's friend in my house. 24 people in the house means a little bit of chaos but overall it went well. We made Amish Friendship Bread, talked about how to be a good friend and attempted to make friendship bracelets. I was a little out numbered with so many girls so not everyone was able to figure out how to make the bracelets but overall I think the girls had fun.
