South of the Border







No, we did not visit South Carolina's infamous roadside attraction. Brownie troop 540 became temporary Latino ladies during our September meeting. We are studying Girl Scouts from Around the World and I chose China last month and Me-hi-co this month. A parent always volunteers to bring snack and drink for each month, so lo and behold what shows up this month for Mexican meeting..... NACHOS, Cinnamon Crisps and MARGARITAS. Ooooh too bad they were virgin. What a fun meeting right? We made headbands with tissue paper flowers and then wore skirts and dresses to dance to the traditional mexican trumpet music. Only, of course as everything does with 10 seven year old girls in a large room and wild trumpeting music on a too loud CD. They go nuts, start flinging themselves thru the air, running around the gym b/c boys from after care are " spying on them" and then while the parents stream in to gather up the psycho brownies proceed to try feats of strength to lift one another up in ballet poses until people are landing on their heads on the cement. I love my job.
