We started the day with a flag ceremony in the shade of the library.

near our camp site! |
We headed up to the campsite and did another pottery accomplishment, we did step 5 "Paint and Glaze" by painting glaze on the pinch pots we made yesterday. They will be fired tomorrow for us. We found the Connect Key in our Brownie Quest Journey. We will be working on Taking Action the rest of the week.

We met a girl who started a charity to fundraise for cancer patients. Her charity is called "
Paige's Cupcakes for Cancer." (click on the link to go to her facebook page)

During our Letterboxing time, we did steps 3 & 4 of the badge. We practiced solving clues and searched for a letterbox.

After lunch, we got to hear two stories by Susan Fowler. She told us of a lady who is having a 133rd birthday on Thursday, Helen Keller. She also told us about a lady who was 20 years older than her, Juliette Gordon Lowe. Helen Keller lost her hearing and sight when she was around 2 years old. Juliette lost hearing in one ear as a teen due to an ear infection, and most of the hearing in the other ear due to an injury - the rice from her wedding got lodged in her ear. We had a frozen snack (Thanks Torrey!) and then did raingutter boat races using the sails decorated yesterday. We then got to visit a station with friends from the Vanderburgh Humane Society. They brought a rabbit, a rat, a dog and a snake for us to see. The day ended with a closing flag ceremony.
Remember to bring your object to tie-dye tomorrow!
