Corn Maize - FINALLY.. and a Christmas Parade too!

We did eventually make it to the Maize before they closed for the season! And it worked out great. It was chilly but not freezing, so not too stuffy in the tall Maize Maze (ha!).. and that day happened to only be open by reservation for Scouts, Homeschooling, etc.. there was our group, one older Scout group, and one small homeschooling group. No crowds! Plus they threw in the hayride and barrel train for free!

JoAnn has the pictures since I was using her camera to take photos, but I will add those when I get them from her.. :)

They did get patches, they say "I survived the Maze!" hehe


Last Saturday was the Bandera Christmas Parade - the scouts (not just our troop, the whole Bandera Service Unit) rode on a float singing Christmas Carols (if you could call that singing! lol) and throwing candy.. turnout was decent considering it was FREEZING. (it was 20* when I took McCayla to the Legion to start decorating the float, my windshield was covered in ice which is RARE around here!)..

James was shooting the parade for the Bandera Bulletin and got a few photos of "our" girls :) The group of littluns up there in front is our's, and the red hat is Mrs. A. I'm the pale faced one next to her. HA!


(That's my little girl behind the post - long hair, looking confused.. hehehe)
They got awesome patches from a wonderful eBay store (TroopMoore) and I can't wait to put her's on her vest!

We started their Christmas craft at this week's meeting - we'll finish it next week, and we're also doing our holiday party. Sounds like fun! More updates soon!
