| Delivering cookies |
If it is February, it must be Girl Scout cookie delivery time! This year, Anna's troop sold far less than in the past (the girls realized they could make more money doing other fundraisers). Anna still has a solid sales base in the neighborhood and got some nice weather to delivery her cookies. Thanks to our neighbors, the Briggs, she also updated her deliver vehicle from a wagon to a granny cart (much easier to push). In addition to neighborhood deliveries, she also is selling at local cookie booths. She and her friend Petra sold outside of the local lacrosse store (there is nothing like high school boys lacrosse players to get the attention of our tween girl scouts). Cookie sales are winding down soon and her troop has a few more sales to do.
Speaking of girl scouts, Anna also got to join her troop for indoor sky diving. This was something she always wanted to try and the girls alternated between terror and enjoyment. Anna loved it and is ready to go again. It is still unclear of any future plans to jump out of an actual plane, but we are pretty sure that is NOT on the list of approved girl scout high adventure activities.

Anna took her first solo ski trip on President's Day with the church youth group. She originally planned to try snowboarding, but decided to switch to skiing after finding out that all of her friends were skiing. Apparently she accidentally ended up on an intermediate slope the first time, but made it down....and skied the rest of the day. She declared the trip a great time (although she repeatedly mentioned her need for a cell phone).
In between adventures, she occasionally had school. We say occasionally, because there was hardly a week that went by without delays or closures due to weather. Hopefully we will have better luck in March.
