Camping with Hannah

Although Grace’s girl scout troop has gone on several camping trips, Hannah’s first trip was in early October . Her troop went on a weekend cabin camping trip to Camp Judy Layne and I attended as a chaperone. We had a great time. The theme for the weekend was the Olympics and the girls took a long challenging hike, played several games and did several team building exercises. Eating a donut off a string without your hands or arms was funny. One event was for two girls to work together. One was to be blindfolded while the other was to lead her blindfolded friend around obstacles. Hannah and her good friend Kendall each took turns leading and being led. While other teams had a difficult time the two of them worked together as one. It was amazing to watch. At one point they were to go up on a bench, then onto a table and back down. I was pretty far away when I saw what was going on and couldn’t get there fast enough to stop it. They made it without hesitation and at a fast pace. I was in awe. I watched the two of them all weekend. They supported each other, waited for each other, showed concern for each other. It was a sight to behold. I only wish that all my girls find that kind of friendship. Camp Judy Layne is the Girl Scout camp with the giant bouncing pillow. Hannah and her troop enjoyed it as much as Grace’s troop had.
