Girl Scout Investiture/Rededication Ceremony, Oct. 2011

At the Investiture/Rededication ceremony, we welcome new members and recite the Girl Scout Law and Promise, sing songs and do skits for the parents and grandparents.  We try to get at least one good picture of all the girls, and then we let them take a silly picture.

Nathan as Star of the Week

Waaaay back in September, Nathan was Star of the Week in his 2nd grade class.  He invited his dad to come talk to everyone about being a doctor.  The kids especially liked the tuning fork which makes a funny sound in the ear.
