Remember the one dance you did where you danced and leaned over on one foot and picked up a feather with you teeth off the floor. Bet you can’t do it now!

Cheesy – we danced some with true Native Americans. They had mixed feelings I think. They liked that others were interested in their culture but I don’t think they were entirely impressed with our intruding on it either. Still, we all got along very well and had a lot of fun!

ETW – yeah, it used to be cool. Not so much any more. Some of that is do to legal changes that have been made and some is due to a change in how spend our time (i.e. inside).

Mom – yup…I still remember the fun

YD – me too!

farmgirl_dk – it was cool…but unusual…I’ll give you that!

Capri Kel – you’re my favorite…don’t tell the others!

GW – yeah…it has changed a lot. I think we may get involved as Isaac gets older…we’ll see. I surely have good memories of it though!

freckles – girls scouts are different than boy scouts (I think it’s still true) in the commercial part. we were all about outdoors and nature and the like and it was great. I have no idea nowadays. You are too funny, btw!

Deb – It sure was…our entire fam drove all over together to do this…it was fun indeed!

June – oh yeah…but I am bigger and broader now…it doesn’t seem to cover me as well…hmmm…

farm mom – I got the skills! but alas, video is against the Native traditions

sugarcreekstuff – my grandma sewed the fringe. I made the bustles (the feather parts) and my dad did most of the beadwork. It was all a tremendous amount of work!

Who says real men dont wear pink. Did you sew your costume? Did you use those hoops like hula hoops? Thanks for sharing. sugarcreekstuff’s last blog post..A tale of two syrups.

Very cool Warren. But what I wanna know is, can you still do it? I think we need some video documentation.

Or I could just say 60 cents. Okay, I’m leaving now.

Did you ever dance for Native Americans?

Cool outfits. Scouting seems to be very big among homeschoolers. I’m not a fan of it… or well… I’m not a fan of Girl Scouts. Everything is so commercialized. Being a Girl Scout is an expensive hobby… and everything our troop did, we did at home anyway, being homeschoolers and all.
And finally, the cookie sales. $60 for each sold box go to the troop. These girls are putting a lot of work into this, and that’s all they’re getting out of it? Let’s leave aside that crap they put into those cookies. Thanks, but no thanks.
