Fun at Freedom Farm in Freeburg, Illinois

What a fun and interesting week we all had at the Freedom Farm a few weeks ago. I (as well as close to 200 other people... including my 2 daughters) started our day at the girl scout camp at the Freedom Farm in Freeburg, Illinois. We spent the whole week doing all sorts of things. They got to ride horses; go swimming; learn about horses; do crafts; make desserts; perform skits; make friends; etc. My girls absolutely adored the vacation!

I am placing this blog here for all those interested in the culmination of the week's activities on Friday. Ahemmm, yes, I forgot (or more accurately) left my photog equipment at home until the very last day. After all, it is quite heavy and I was volunteering in the tags unit. Too cumbersome to haul around while keeping track of the younguns. Thanks older tagalongs... and certainly Cheyenne & Madison too. You made my job much easier. Oh, and I can't forget to thank Maria for being there. I had to follow her lead. She is an old pro... Well not "old". Sorry. Meant to say that she is way more experienced in the ways of girl scouting and the whole process.

Before clicking on this girl scout camp slideshow link .... please note that you need to click on the Freedom_Farm_2008 button to see the images. Oh, and make sure to view it using the full screen option. It is much more enjoyable that way. Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and I wanted to extend a big thanks to Tammy, Jodi, Robin, and the other volunteers. It wouldn't have been such a nice experience without each and every one of you!
