Can you excited? That's what 12 girls were today at our bridging ceremony. Can you see Sophia's happy face? She was like this for an hour leading up to the ceremony and all throughout. Her excitement even convinced Lilly to become a Girl Scout too. Two girls in the troop couldn't make it. We'll have them bridge over to Brownies at the beginning of next year.
They ceremony was one of three being held today at Little Island Park at Sandbridge beach - which is one of our favorite beaches.
The ceremony began with each girl wearing her blue Daisy uniform and walking across "the bridge"that the girls are all trying to stand on in this picture below. Notice the uniform change to brown. Well, after tchey walked aross the bridge Carolyn, the troop co-leader, took off their Daisy tunic and replaced it with their Brownie vest. Once they formed a circle I called each girl up and turned her around a few times while I said: Twist her and turn her and show her the elf. She looked in the mirror and saw. And the girls said: HERSELF!!!! Yes, some of them yelled it so it deserved exclamation points. (smile). Then they each said the Girl Scout Promise while I pinned on their Brownie pin. It was a Kodak moment for sure. Will didn't come with us so I don't have a picture of Sophia getting pinned.
He did join us at the beach after the ceremony so he had a free pass to skip. Not every dad was there, but a lot of them were. Anyway, I digress....after the ceremony we went to the beach and had a fun time playing in the sand.
These are a couple of super, excited, girls. All hyped up after eating cupcakes with globs of icing.
