Hello again everyone!
1) Just a last reminder that we're meeting up in the Macy's parking lot of Southridge for the 4th of July Parade Friday at 9:30. I know some folks will be out of town for the 4th, but if you're here, the parade's always a lot of fun for the girls, and I think this year we won't be battling 100 degree heat! (And of course there's a patch involved too!) We have a bunch of candy to hand out, but if anyone wants to bring more (not chocolate or melty stuff!) anything will help it last longer! We'll have the big banner flying from our van to help find us in the parking lot.
2) We'll be doing the Laura Ingalls Wilder Days at Old World Wisconsin on July 12th (a Saturday). Scouts that want to go will meet up at our house at 9:00, and we'll carpool out there. We will aim to be back between 3:30-3:45.
Admission is: Adults $16;
children (5-17) $9 (children under 5 are free);
students and senior citizens (65 and over) $14;
or family (two adults and two or more dependent children 5-17) $43.
If your scout (or you, if you want to come!) dress as a Little House character, you get an additional $2 off. Fees include an all-day tram transportation pass.
As always: A) There's room in carpools to send your scout if she needs a ride. And B) If you'd like the troop to cover your scout's admission, just let me know, and there'll be no questions asked or tales told.
In addition to the various activities--churning butter, doing Laura-like chores, playing games--and the chance to get right inside houses, buildings, farms, and businesses from Laura's days, there'll be a historic baseball game at 1:30, featuring the rules of the game as they would have been in the 1860's.
If your scout is really interested, but just can't make it to join us on the 12th, and if there is enough interest, we can add a weekday trip out there during the following Wednesday, leaving from Greendale Middle School at 12:00, and getting back to Greendale High School at 4:30. That'll be a bit shorter of a trip, but it can still be awesome!
3) Don't forget the beach cleanup at Bay View Park on July 10th, 6:30-8:00. We had a bunch of scouts there for June, and the organizers really appreciated our help. You can skip planning for dinner that night too, as Classic Slice Pizza invites all the beach cleaners over for free pizza afterward! The beach entrance is just south of Oklahoma on Superior, across from the Marian Center.
See you soon! I hope you're all having a great summer!
