Girl Scout Day Camp

 Kelly had two full days at the Dyersville Girl Scout Day Camp!  She LOVED every minute of it!  The made LOTS of crafts (t-shirt bag, picture frame, solar cakes, bracelets, etc.), made fun snacks, played lots of games, and had a wonderful time!

 Dress up time......of course Kelly's entire outfit is PINK!

(They printed this picture for them and put it in the frame they made)

 Silly Kelly!

Kelly and her 1st grade friend, Claire Olberding.  They go to the same school, and used to go to the same babysitter.....they were both in ALL PINK!

Kelly and her 6th grade big sister, Mariah, was one of the junior group leaders

Kelly's group for the two days!

*They mix up all the grades so the girl scouts get to know one another!

Kelly was the guesser while her group was playing Frogger!

**It was a fun couple of days for Kelly!

4th Annual Big Girl/Mommy Day

Kelly and I had our 4th Big Birthday Girl/Mom Day in the Quad Cities with my two college roommates/friends Sarah and Molly....and their daughters Michaela & Myka.  The last three years we have gone to the Children's Museum and the girls had a blast!  We were afraid the girls were outgrowing that museum, so we decided to head to the zoo followed by a splash pad.  Everyone had a great time!  The girls played great together and the Moms were able to catch up a little bit.  It was a fun day!!!

(Next year we may have to have Molly & Riley join the big girl day too!)

 Happy Birthday!

All of their birthdays are in May or June

The girls waiting their turn to FEED the giraffes

 Kelly feeding the giraffe some romaine lettuce

 YUMMY!  You can see that Kelly is smiling watching the giraffe eat the lettuce she just gave him.

 Kelly loved walking through the bamboo sticks that were in the bird area

 Watching the Monkeys

 My favorite picture of the day - the girls walking hand in hand through the zoo...it was cute!

 They stopped (on their own) to get pictures at EVERY place possible....

 ....and they wanted to sit on every animal too!

 Feeding the goats!

 Feeding the birds!

 SPLASH PAD!

 It was a little cold with the wind....so Kelly & Michaela tried warming up on the hot cement.

 Queen of the Mountain!

 This big hill was right by the splash pad.....and the girls had a great time digging at the top!

A fun day for Kelly & I!!!
