GOTTA LOVE AUGUST

Darcy's turn to express her day on her food.

The dam. Just like Charla and me, Darcy loves to swim and play at the dam.

 

 We had a very brief, but sweet visit with Lisa, Brent and Logan (and Logan's friend).

Emerald and Sea Salt love having their cage on the porch and watching the birds at the birdfeeder.

Cam and Darcy made barricades and then tried to breach each other's with water. Thursday was on guard for Cam.

Just a pic of Darcy with Mr. Fluffy AKA Eric.

Darcy and I went for a morning kayak ride with Charla.

A boat ride.

Darcy caught a big fish! In her words: "I out-fished Rob!"

Darcy joined a book club for the summer via the library. The last day they had a little show, a picnic and prizes. Darcy won an archeology kit.

Darcy made a birdfeeder for a Brownies badge. She watched for an hour and recorded all the visitors - there were a lot!

  Darcy and I made this water game from an old pallet and upcycled bits and pieces. There are tubes from our old pool, toys, plastic containers, even pieces of eaves trough!

Nanna and Darcy learned how to knit this summer! Actually Nanna knew how, but it had been over 40 years since she had tried, so Pat gave her a refresher course and voila! a scarf for Darcy's doll.

Last day before school starts: Mani-pedi day!

Brownies year 1 (2016-2017)

All set for the fall cookie campaign! 

Darcy sold 9 cases (12 boxes of cookies per case) of mint Girl Guide cookies! 

I came downstairs the other morning and found this:

          Darcy was "ironing" her Brownie bookmark. 

Darcy participated in the Girl Guide Remembrance Day Ceremony

Darcy is officially a Brownie!

Darcy attended Brownie Superhero Academy.

She's earning lots of crests.

Girl Guide Camp

Brownie advancement and awards ceremony.

Darcy got an award for selling the most cookies in her district: 17 cases!! That's 204 boxes of cookies!

Darcy worked hard this year and earned a lot of badges. (You can see the post about her badges here.) She participated in nearly everything and earned a lot of crests, too. 

I even got an award of Appreciation for volunteering!
