Marin has been lucky to do some fun activities with Daisy Scouts. Her leaders think of things that first grade girls love to do. They did a bat walk at a park nearby. We began by learning about bats and the different sounds that they make, what they eat, which kinds are found in the park. Then we took a walk in the dark and looked and listened for bats. The girls had a great time. We did not see very many bats, but we heard several. The weather didn't cooperate and it started to sprinkle at the end of our walk, which probably kept the bats away.
The girls also built a scarecrow for the courtyard of the school. Each girl was responsible for contributing one piece of the scarecrow. Marin had the shoes. We brought an old pair of hers and an old pair of Kevin's, not sure which size scarecrow we were going for. It turned out very cute. I think all the girls had a really good time putting it together.
Last night, we went to Disney on Ice. I was not particularly thrilled to go see it but the girls were ecstatic. It featured Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Cars, Lion King, Little Mermaid, and Pixie Hollow. The costumes and some of the ways that they used them were pretty interesting. Marin had a blast. It was a fun excursion.
