Our girls did such a great job on selling cookies this year. They hustled and sold cases upon cases... then they stood out in the cold, driving rain, you know -- the weather that Seattle is known for, hawking more cases. They all did such a great job! And it paid off:
We were able to go to the Great Wolf Lodge for a Girl Scout Camp-in with the cookie money!!!!
Oh, the Great Wolf Lodge is such a good concept for this part of the world. It is a hotel whose main attraction is the indoor water park. Yep - a water park with slides, and wave pools, and splash zones all over -- but indoors, so it's not cold. Brilliant!!!
Ronnie, Sarah, and I went ahead and booked a room for the night so we could partake in the fun. And what fun it was -- there was pizza, and Sing-alongs, and swimming, and S'Mores. And then we got up the next day and did it all over again!
The great thing is we found out one of Sarah's best friends will be a Daisy scout next year... Sarah is already begging to be in Xiah's troop. And Holly finally got to see her cookie money pay off. We are so proud of them and can't wait to see what experiences next year will bring us.
