My oldest is working on her Gold Award- the highest award in Girl Scouting (I hesitate to say the equivalent of the Boy Scout Eagle because I feel our award is harder, thus MORE). It really is a family affair. Many details to attend to and lots of running around and gathering! We had to fit all that in around the homecoming dance and its preparations. So she had the big event on Sunday. It was a huge success and a lot of fun!! But we all collapsed afterwards. K actually went home and slept for 4 hours! She did a healthy and local eating project in the" Edible Schoolyard" at our local Children's Museum. The kids dug up sweet potatoes from the garden, cleaned and cooked them, made homemade butter and homemade biscuits and ate it all! They also made recipe books, planted basil and learned about healthy eating. Now if she can just finish the paperwork we can put it on the college applications!
