Girl Scout Lock-In

Kinlee is doing Girl Scouts for the first time this year. She is really enjoying it a lot. Last night, as a "kick off" to cookie sales, the girls had a "lock in". It wasn't an all night deal, just 6-10. There were about 75 girls there. They ate pizza and cake (made by Kinlee's troop leader - she did an awesome job on an awesome cake!) ........
They made bead bracelets and did face painting...... And they did the infamous "Cookie Crunch". Kinlee was brave enough to try it her first year, but she soon realized that maybe she wasn't quite cut out for it. In the Cookie Crunch, the girls compete against one another to eat as many Girl Scout cookies as possible in a given amount of time. Above left is the picture of the plate Kinlee started out with. Above right is what was left when she decided this contest was NOT for her. She didn't like the idea of "cramming" them in her mouth, and I can't say I was too sad about that. There was only one "puking" incident, and luckily it wasn't us. Kinlee wised up before we got to that point! I was very proud of her for getting up there and giving it a shot, though. She gave it the ol' college try, that's for sure.
By the way, if anyone needs Girl Scout cookies, let us know.........
