Girl Scouts & Dude Ranch Weekend

 First things first, did we mention Alice has joined a Girl Scout troop as a Brownie?

(isn't she totally adorable?  please plan your cookie purchases accordingly)

Here she is supervising a craft project at Sulzer library

Reading to preschoolers

So, we are new to Girl Scouts, but since Alice only has 6 other girls in her class at school, we think it's important that she spend some time with new and different girls.

Cut to......  White Pines Dude Ranch for Kids troop weekend
