Hi Family and Friends
My Mom just reminded me I hadn't sent any picture of the girls in their Girl Scout activities lately so here's a couple. The 1st graders and 2nd graders meet on every-other Wed but usually have very similar meeting plans. (easiest for their leader- me :-)
They recently learned a little bit about camping. Bed roll relay, brainstorming list of items one should bring on a campout, etc. Each girl practiced tying knots with their new bandana and as you can see, Sara's group were very creative in their chosen style. :-)
Some of the girls joined the Girl Scout organization on an overnight camping trip at an Animal Park last weekend but Tia and Sara missed out. Lucky they get to go camping and do fun outdoor activities in the Sates. Some of the girls had never slept outside before!
Tia's had Dengue Fever once already and a second bout is supposed to be much more serious- often requiring a trip to Singapore for proper medical treatment. Sadly this nasty disease is transmitted by mosquitos here in Indonesia and we decided to not take the risk of camping at an animal park where mosquitos are more numerous.
It's Definitely a Frustrating part of living in Indo, to be "afraid" of mosquitos but I've got the girls pretty well trained to apply repellant every morning before school and again after school if they're heading outside. So far, no problems.
Love ya, Paula
