This was Katie's favorite event of the year! She already can't wait to do it again next year! We went early, so that we could get one of the 1000 jerseys they were giving away, just for fun. We stayed for the baseball game, which came with free meal tickets since we purchased them through the Girl Scout troop.
When Katie got bored, we went to the grass to throw around a ball that Gemma bought for Athena to play with. Emma was having fun just being outside and watching the girls play. She's crawling now, so she kept running away and making me catch her :p
Finally after the game was over, we were able to go to the car and bring our tents and things in.
Tons of troops showed up. We only encountered one problem with a rude leader while there, forcing my Mom to move her tent after she put hers right in front of my Mom's view of the big screen. Haha. After everyone got settled, they played the movie "Frozen" on the big screen. They passed out Sour Patch Kids and a Girl Scout Patch for all the girls. Gemma was even nice enough to go to the liquor store and grab some extra snacks for the girls.
I didn't know it was a family event, so I didn't plan on staying. I thought it was only for the girls, so I didn't want Emma to be there bothering everyone. Turns out, it was an event for everyone who wanted to come with their Girl Scout. Dads, brothers, sisters, Moms, etc were all there together. Not all, but a good chunk. If I would have known, I would have stayed the night with them. Next year for sure. Maybe we can even bring Katie's cousins next time, that would be fun. Katie's really looking forward to it.
