Butterflies and the Beach

I can't speak enough or put into words whats great blessing it has been to have my Brownie Troop this year!  I know it is a Great responsibility for anyone, it is even tougher when you do not have a co~leader but some how I have been able to pull it off and when I think I am far to over whelmed and I think I can't do it those little ladies remind me why I became a troop leader! 

    It was a couple weeks back and this was really one of many, of our first big ventures out of the Orcutt area, yes we have had a Christmas party and been in the parade also we had gone to Whipper Snippers and were taught alot about just "being a girl".  This day and this adventure was extra special to me.  We went to visit The Monach Butterfly Grove located in Pismo Beach.  All I can say is the Lord has given us so many wonders to be grateful and remember all the creatures he has created for us.  I can only tell you my girls were amazed and could of stayed there all day and night! 

    Not only did they see they wonderful,amazing,beautiful butterflies, but we also took a trail from the grove right to the Beach and the wonder in their eyes and just the pure joy of being together filled all of our hearts with joy that day!  As young ladies I hope that all our time together they will take these special times and hold them close to their hearts as I do!  I know when I was in Girls Scouts I have so many memories that still bring a smile to me and a joyful feeling in my heart TODAY!
