Dallas Children's Theater

Today we traveled to Dallas Children's Theater to see Madeline's Christmas! This theater is one of the neatest places for children(and adults!) The girls waited patiently for over an hour before we could be seated! We got the best seats in the house!!

 After the play, all of the characters came to the foyer to sign autographs and to take pictures! How cool is that! The girls thought it was so neat to meet these actors/actresses in person!

What a great experience for the troop! We will be back for sure!

Christmas Party 2012

 Candy, crafts, Christmas music, yummy food and a surprise..today was our troop Christmas party! First the girls painted ornaments that we received from the Pottery Cafe in Tyler. I can't wait to see them after the are fired in the kiln! They were so pretty!

Then we finished up a try-it with a paper bag Santa! The girls were so serious while coloring and cutting!

The girls also learned how to take Christmas tree trimmings and create a wreath with them! They added bells, ribbon, bows, etc! These were so much fun! Thank you to Home Depot for donating these tree trimmings to our troop!

 Merry Christmas from Troop 457!

Meeting No. 5 - Lights, Camera...ACTING!

Today we created an imaginary stage at our normal meeting spot so the girls could experience a day of "make-believe!" They each took turns being a mime acting out a situation, seeing if the other girls could guess what she was doing! Then they had to get together as a group, come up with an event or situation, and act it out in front of the parents to see if we could guess what they were! They did a great job working together on this!

(roasting marshmallows!)

Most girls this age love dressing up and pretending, so when I gave them a tub full of fun dress up clothes and told them to pick whatever they wanted, they were pretty excited!

They decided they wanted to switch costumes after a few minutes to see what it was like to be a different character!

The girls earned their "Lets Pretend" Try-It!
