American Heritage Girl Fashion Show

Our older 4 girls have been participating in a local American Heritage Girl troop for a year and a few months.  AHG is a scouting organization with similarities to the Girl Scouts, but it is Christ based.  The Girl Scouts, on a national level anyway, have been getting more and more liberal.  I am sure there are some local GS troops with leadership that aligns with our core beliefs, but AHG is Christian centered all the way. So we are truly grateful a troop is nearby.

Naomi and Lydia are the oldest girls in the troop.  Naomi had to work hard this year, because she only had one year at her level (the Pioneer level) and to get her level award, she had to complete all the work that typically takes 2 years. She did it!  I am very proud of her.  Not only did she do it, she did it with almost NO help from me. I was too busy with kids, and too pregnant, to help her get organized and keep track of the badges.  So she just took control and did it. That's my girl!

Last Sunday was a BIG day as Naomi and Lydia culminated months of work of organizing a troop fashion show. Their theme was "the Color Spectrum" and almost all the girls wore an outfit centered around a specific color.  One girl did wear a rainbow outfit, which was totally appropriate!

Kevin was eager to see our girls in action, so he took them to the show while I stayed home and napped :-). 

This was before the show.  Miriam did red, and Angela did black.  Both our middle girls got rid of their shoes before their runway "walk". 

The leadership specifically asked that we not post public pics of other kids, so I won't.  But the other girls in the troop also did a charming job and it was fun.  Kevin kindly recorded it so I got to see the whole show.

Afterwards, Naomi met with the board of review and was cleared to receive her level award.
