2012 Troop 2698

It's hard to believe how much the girls have changed in a year. 
I love it that most of them sat in the same spot as the 2012 picture.  Love these girls!

 

Insects, Arachnids and Crustaceans....oh my!

Brownies and Bugs

Can you spot the Praying Mantis?

Troop 2698 was lucky enough to have Boris Kondratieff from CSU come to our May 14th meeting with a cooler full of bugs...literally!



The cooler full of bugs



 Boris Kondratieff

Boris was so entertaining and you can tell how passionate he is about insects, arachnids, crustaceans and all of the other bugs that he talked about.  He was funny and so impressed with the girls knowledge of insects.  Thankful that we just wrapped up that unit at school!

"Rosie" the Tarantula

 

The big hit with the whole troop was "Rosie" the Tarantula.  They were each able to hold her for a moment.

 



 

Fulin opted to admire Rosie from afar...

Troop Christmas Meeting

"Oh What Fun It Is....."

What a great time we all had doing fun crafts, eating snacks and enjoying hot chocolate at our troop leader's house. 

The Girl Scout Pledge

Alison, our troop leader, led the girls in a Salt Dough Ornament project.  They turned out so cute!!

Lauren, concentrating on her painting

Alissa, Miya's mom, showed the girls how to make Rudolph ornaments from clothespins!  They turned out adorable!! 

 A finished Rudolph

Jen, Zoe's mom, showed the girls how to make homemade snow globes to finish out the craft projects.  The girls were each in a photo that was laminated, inside the jar with glitter and sequins. 

Even the mom's got to enjoy the fun and a night together

 

Thanks to Tina and Barb for the hot chocolate ~

Thanks to Alissa, Alison, and Carrie for helping out with the crafts!

 

We finished out the night with a gift for the girls from our troop leader. 

Thanks Alison!
