'Don't shed a tear for me...'

'...for I am the symbol of our country's power and faith, and soon you will see me flying again, my colors anew.'

Yeah, I attended a flag retiring ceremony last night for a girl scout IP (intrest project) I could earn- a perfect one for our theme this year too- Star Spangled Summer. Although the ceremony is not meant to be depressing, and only a symbol of our love towards our flag, I sobbed. Maybe it was the fact that my sister talked so calmly, or maybe it was the fact that the flag (in the script) told me not to. I did. And even though I cried I would never trade that experience for the world. It was an amazing ceremony, and extremely thoughtful. I loved it.

I have new little bunny and birdie friends:) they are so adorable, and I will be so sad to see them off.... *3* but I love them!

My little bunny friends. How many can you count? I saw 4!

The... *prettier* pic of my friends. they are older now and about to leave the nest. the third one is below them... XD

My friends in the scariest stage of their life. they almost look like something from The Dark Crystal. What an awesome movie.

Day Camp *v* and walk-it day

Yesterday (Sat, June 5) was the set-up day for day camp :3 I love my unit leaders this year, and the P.A. I get to watch (she's fresh meat in the P.A. world- I'm a second year). She's super spunky and talks a lot- just like me :)

This is what our shirts look like:

Super cute, I know :3 If you can't tell, the theme is "star-spangled summer"

The darned chiggers are bad in the area I'm stationed (I'm in the fourth grade unit this year, but since they didn't mow our area, we decided to use part of the 3rd grade space- we're really short on girls this year), so I'm going to wear knee-high socks each day and spray them down with bug spray so they don't get in around my ankles. They are nasty little beasts of nature. ugh.

Weight watchers walk-it day is today, and so I'm going to walk the Greenway here in the 'Boro! It'll be super fun, and I'll be using my ipod. Yay! *v*
