Lovely Olivia! She is in an after school activity lead by her teacher, Mrs. Saxena, called Roots and Shoots. They encouraged them to take a pledge of vegetarianism for Earth Week. It was hard, but she did it successfully! I tired to dissuade her, as it seemed hard for me, the non-vegetarian cook! She did it anyway. She just amazes me.
We took Eliza's Daisy troop to The British Club to earn their, "Courageous and Strong" petal. Almost all successfully climbed to the top of the rock climbing wall!
Daisies!
Hilarious! Melanie squatting me at our last Bunco night :-)
