Snacks with Karen

We started out this meeting making a gift. All of the girls decorated and wrote their names on a shirt for Madison Dent to remind her that we are all thinking of her.
Dylan's mom came prepared with some delicious and nutritious treats for the girls to try - some sweet ans some savory. Then we had some fun with the food by creating designs which you can see in the pictures below. We even got to try a delicious homemade fruit smoothie sweetened with honey! Some of the mom's are still wondering about a secret family recipe that Karen wouldn't give up...all I know is it has pretzels, chocolate and caramel.
Ask your daughter to make a snack for you and your family and sit and enjoy it together!

First Aid and the Firehouse

I think the girls would agree that our meeting on First Aid was one of the best yet!
First we met with Andy, our outdoor leader for some lessons in basic first aid. Topics covered ranged from when and how to call 911, what to do when a grizzly bear approaches and how to treat minor injuries. I am always amazed by the enthusiasm of our Brownies in every lesson. The girls are always eager to engage, answer and ask questions and explore the world around them.

Next, we went over to the Jenkintown Fire Department for an exciting outing. We met a real FireWoman and learned more about first aid, emergencies and emergency responders. Our friends at the fire department are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Jenkintown Fire Department is all volunteers and wow are they a dedicated crew! We got a picture with our new friend, a fire hat and a tour of one of the fire trucks. Please enjoy the pictures below.

The Ballet at AFS and Ice Skating

Wow - I'm a little behind. Some of our Brownies attended Coppelia, a ballet presented by the Metropolitan Ballet Company, at AFS in November

Here are the girls holding up there patches. Ella looks a little chilly! Anyway, a good time was had by all and the girls enjoyed watching Anna's sister, Maria perform in the ballet.








In December we took a trip to the Ice Skating rink. The girls were fun, courageous and very good sports through wobbly ankles, a few falls and the cold!

I for one was happy when the skates came off because I was one of the parents silly enough to think I still have the fitness level to skate. My sore back convinced me of the need to get back in shape! Please enjoy all of the pictures below!
