Girl Scout Camp Palos 5/13-15th!
So we have scheduled our first weekend campout. We have selected Camp Palos in Palos because it is so darn close and a lovely Girl Scout camp. We have reserved the 4 cabin clusters for Friday, Saturday, leaving on Sunday. Here are a few snap shots of the camp.
It will be so much fun to be outdoors, sitting by the campfire, looking at the stars and listening to the girls all sing and laugh together.
