In March of this year, a new Girl Scout troop started up in our area and Amelie became an official Girl Scout! In Girl Scouts, you are grouped according to grade (not age), so she was a Brownie. She only had half a year as a Brownie because once you start 4th grade you become a Junior. It’s been a lot of fun! Working on badges and skills, going to troop meetings, and attending awesome camps–it’s been a great experience for Amelie.

This summer, she attended Horse Camp. She got to stay the night at Trefoil Ranch up in Provo Canyon and learn all about taking care of horses. She spent several hours riding, too, and told us that she loved it and can’t wait to do it again next year. In September, she stayed the night at Camp Cloud Rim in Park City. This camp was an arts and crafts camp, so totally up her ally. She sewed a little toy, made a piece of pottery, made paper crafts, and had so much fun. The locations of the Girl Scout properties are stunning! Really gorgeous. I’m so glad she gets to have these enriching experiences out in beautiful surroundings.

This past weekend, Amelie and Bryce got to spend the night together at the Natural History Museum! They packed up their sleeping bags and pj’s and headed out on their little adventure. The museum led science experiments and fun activities for the girls. Amelie came home with a pet worm, electronic contraptions, a gumdrop tower, a painted cast of dinosaur skin, and a baggie of little bones from some owl pellets that they dissected (not scrapbooking those!).
