We journeyed to a university in a nearby town Saturday morning for the Girl Scout Council's annual meeting. The Lone Star Girl's troop was being recognized for receiving their Bronze Awards and they were then running a SWAP table at a SWAP meet for the younger girls attending. Lone Star Pa was at a soccer coach training, so I had the Lone Star Baby along, and she had fun coloring with a friend of hers who is the younger sister of one of the girls in our troop. She also really had fun outside as we walked to and from our car.
The mascot for TAMUK is the javelina and there were painted javelina cloven hoof prints on the sidewalk in various places. The Lone Star Baby loved looking for them and hopping between them. I explained what javelinas were and then I told her the story of how her grandpa and uncles had once been chased up trees by angry javelinas while camping. This distressed her because she doesn't feel very good at tree-climbing yet. I told her we would work on it. The Lone Star Girl told her about seeing javelinas hanging around Camp Greenhill, but that those javelinas did not bother the Girl Scouts.
When we got home, I printed up a picture of javelinas from the computer and the Lone Star Baby set about drawing them. She also drew some javelina hoof prints on the porch in sidewalk chalk.
