Moving up to Cadets

Marissa is now a Cadet in Girl Scouts. This past Thursday she bridged to Cadets. This year the Cadets in her group will be working on their Silver Award which requires 30 hour of service. All I can say is that Marissa with be a busy girl with all her activities from school and Girl Scouts this year. Marissa's troop is going to try and get enough money to go to Disneyland next summer, which will be a lot of fun for her. The stipulation for all the girls to go is that they all have to sell at least 500 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies this year, so all be prepare for the phone call asking if you would like to buy some cookies in January.

End of summer Activies

The summer is coming to the end and Marissa has been busy. Ariana was in town for two weeks at the end of July and beginning of August. The girls spent time together the first first she came into town, they had an sleep over and the went to Nicholas's Baptizm luncheon. Marissa then had camp the first week of August, then her birthday, and now she is getting ready for school.

Marissa's had a great time at camp this year. She went to the program that included windsurfing, kayaking, canoeing and rock climbing. She was not so sure of the windsurfing but was for everything else. The following pictures is what she took while at the camp. She went on an overnight hike, which on the way back she rolled her ankle. She was in a tent with two other girls that she had a great time getting to know. She came home with some severely chapped lips. By Wednesday of the following week they look a much better.

For Marissa's Birthday party she had it at Sweet and Sassy Salon, I surprised her and her 4 friends with a limo. At the salon they got there hair, make-up, and nails done and then did karaoke. The kids had a blast. Here are some picture of the days.
