Busy, Busy!

During Erin's Girl Scout meeting this afternoon, I found myself looking at the back of her vest, which displays the "fun patches" from activities that the troop has done this year. I was amazed at how many of them there are, just from this one year! They've done everything from gardening to tours of restaurants and radio stations, and participated in events like our town's holiday parade (boy, what a stormy, wet day that was!) and the Council's annual International Food Fair (we represented the Bahamas). Each of these patches represents a fun-filled experience that Erin has been able to attend, and each carries with it memories that I hope will be with her for a long time. I can't wait to see what the vest looks like at the end of next year. Wow!
