Eating Ice - December 13, 2009

Annora likes to eat ice. Fortunately for her, it's been cold recently. :)

Hay Maze Craze

My camera died after a few pics of Annora at the Hay Maze near Joel and Liz's, where we hung out around Thanksgiving.

Elizabeth at the busiest water booth of all.

Since there are no water fountains in the stadium or surrounding grounds, TRBC set up several "Free Water" stations. Our troop manned the one in the middle of all the rides/bouncy things.

Annora serving water. We were at the Liberty University Stadium from 1pm-10:30pm. Whew!



The troop also participated in the Veteran Medal Ceremony.

Sarah gives a medal to a veteran.

After the ceremony, there was a concert and sing-along and fireworks!

Annora: "Look how good my dress twirls!"

Pretty girl. Now we're ready to go to the Tea Room!

Everyone MUST try on hats at the Tea Room. Part of the aura of being (as Annora says) "old-timey".

We had "luncheon" with tea and beautiful china at the Windsor Hotel in Americus, GA.

Mama and Annora (she picked out different hats for us--it's been a long time since I played dress-up!)
