Rally Day 2010

I spent the day in the company of 14,463 people! I'm exhausted.

2010 marks 100 years of Girl Guides in Canada. Today was National Rally Day, a once in a lifetime chance to celebrate all things Guiding with Members from coast to coast on the same day!

We left the local mall 7:15 this morning and travelled via school bus to Ontario Place in Toronto. We spent the day singing, dancing, doing crafts, and laughing. All in all, it was a great day....

Highlights: I was pulled out to learn/teach an east Indian dance in front of everyone, 2 left feet and all. Good thing I've taken all those Zumba classes! The drum circle and the weather station. All 10 members of my unit had a wonderful time.

Low lights: losing one of my guides during in the Activ8 Zone! I was 2 seconds away from a complete melt down, when she wandered around the corner, "I was looking, but I couldn't find you". That I was pulled out to learn/teach an east Indian dance in front of everyone

The rally day service project collected over 6 thousand pounds of food and 1100 packages of seeds to help eradicate hunger!

I can barely keep my eyes opened....pictures may be posted tomorrow (after I go through them, at this point I'm can't even be sure I took any).

Happy Earth Week!

Earth Day was made to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment, April 22 each year by more than 500 million people and several national governments in 175 countries celebrate it. This week we celebrated Earth Week with my Girl Guides.

We planted tulips, and cleaned up the lot where we have our meetings.

We made rice krispie earths.

We volunteered to clean up and plant native trees at the eco park.

We watched Fern Gully. (also known as AVATAR)

We left the frogs, and turtles undisturbed.

let the cookies fall where they may

they're here, yeah all 50 cases are at my house (just for the record, 50 cases will fit into my Tuscan at once) now the fun begins... would you like to buy a box of girl guide cookies? oh you prefer the mint cookies, well I have nearly 5 cases of those too. So what do you say, you'll take a case? HAHA Wish us luck we're going to need it! Maybe I should print out a list of recipes and have on hand as an incentive....
