Daisy Scouts

Elena decided this year that she wanted to join Girl Scouts. A couple of her friends in her class were Girl Scouts and she wanted to do these fun things with them. So we let her join. Girl Scouts at her age are considered Daisy Scouts. I figured this would be a great way to get to know some of the other families and let her start doing things outside of school with her friends. She's now been going to Daisy Scouts for about two months now and she loves it. Well yesterday was her official investiture ceremony where they get their Daisy Scout pin and become official members. She was so excited. I'm so proud of my babygirl taking some initiative and wanting to join and be a member of something in our community. Even if it was to be with her friends at first, she is slowly starting to learn what Girl Scouts are all about. She is learning about helping in her town and helping others. This is only going to make her a better person. And hopefully through this process, she'll make friends that she'll keep forever. These are some pics from this past weekend at her Girl Scout Maze Hunt weekend and from her Investiture Ceremony yesterday.

Global Wildlife

This past weekend Barrett and I brought the kids to Global Wildlife. The weather was perfect and we just couldn't pass up the day. There was a nice breeze and the sun was shining. The animals were active. They were playing, chasing each other, even fighting. The kids had so much fun watching them get so active. Normally they just follow you around for food. Today they were playing. We made it about 80% of the way through before my kids had had enough. Landon laid his head on my lap and Elena put her food cup down and they were done. It was WAY after lunch time and I'm sure they were feeling that. This was a good day though. They had a great time.

Fair Weekend

This weekend was the St. Tammany Parish Fair weekend. Krissy and I decided to bring the kids to ride. We got there bright and early trying to beat the crowds. Good thing we did. They got to ride acouple hours and then it got packed after

that. Krissy took

Anthony and Hailey off to ride the bigger rides and I hung out with Ashleigh, Elena, and Landon. So as the pics will show, no photos of Krissy's other two.

After we left the fair, we decided to split kids. She took the boys for the night and I took the girls.

I think I got the raw end of that

deal lol. Those boys are so easy going. The girls stayed up until 1am. We took them out to dinner and then we had a girls night. We did facials, manicures, and

pedicures. They were so cute and they said they had fun doing it.
