Year of the Dragon

Today we celebrated the Year of the Dragon. Meilynn sang a Chinese song with her Mandarin Class. They did an awesome job. We all enjoyed making crafts, watching the talent show, seeing the Martial arts class demonstration and the Lion Dancers. The night ended with the Lantern parade. We all had a great time.
                           

                                              

Daisy Troop 20455 Investiture Ceremony

Today was Daisy Troop 20455 Investiture Ceremony. There are eight girls in our troop. Two couldn't be there tonight due to illness and prior commitment. It was a very nice ceremony. The girls officially became Daisy Scouts. They had a flag ceremony, sang, talked about the Daisy garden and petals and received their first patches. The girls did a great job! Meilynn just loves Daisy Scouts.

Merry Madagascar ICE!

Merry Madagascar ICE, was held at The Gaylord National Resort on the Patomic. This 15,000-square-foot attraction is a unique, interactive indoor wonderland created entirely of ice. ICE! is created by dozens of artisans who will migrate to the D.C. area from Harbin, China to craft this elaborate attraction out of nearly 2 million pounds of ice. It takes them nearly an entire month of 12-hour shifts to transform the refrigerated tent where the exhibit is held into a remarkable icy wonderland.
