Sleep Over at the Explora

This year the girls who sold over 200 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies got to go on a cool event that they choose. Our girls choose to go to EXPLORA and have a sleep over. We got there at 6:30pm, had a snack and went out to the exhibits to play. At 7:45pm we ate pizza and then went to more classes. We watched a movie and went to bed (well, that was suppose to be the plan). Allyson at breakfast.

Savannah using electricity to move the soda can. She was in a race with Kellsie and three other girls to see who could move their can the fastest.

Mariah and Joann at exhibits.

Kellsie and Jessica...just having fun.

Joann getting ready for the next class. They woke us up at 7pm, to clean up our stuff and eat breakfast. Then we were able to play at more stations until pick up time. Some of the taller girls were able to ride the bike if they had time or wanted to. Kellsie was able to stay and ride the bike.

We had a blast! Thanks to Ms. Summer who came and helped. The girls had fun and learned (but I dont' think they understood that part).

Sleeping at Explora...WHATEVER!

Lights out were at 10:30pm, we went to bed a little late because the movie went longer. So we were in sleeping bags by 11pm. I stopped looking at the clock at 12:45am, so I am not sure what time we ended up going to bed.

Most of our girls stayed up to read books (what amazing girls we have). And just as a side note, prego women should not sleep on the floor in their last trimester.

Classes at explora

We went to a class on electricity.

We went to the "Air" area
Jess trying to blow the paper off without blowing directly on it. VERY HARD!

Savannah trying to count all the gum balls.

Girls had to blow bubbles and keep the bubbles up in the air for as long as possible using only their hands and not touching the bubbles.

Experiments at Explora

One of the work shops was on electricity...need we say more?

Allyson trying to fill up the bag with one breath of air. I think she was the closest.

More Explora Pics

The girls really wanted to sleep in the mirrors area, but another troop had already claimed it and it only fit about 4 girls anyways. Bummer...

Here is a pic of all the Girl Scouts who attended the Sleep Over Event. I think there were three or four troops there. Perfect size to have fun!
