Second American Heritage Girl meeting

Last night was the second American Heritage Girl meeting.  Tatiana had so much fun!   We walked in late because I thought it started at 6:30, instead of 6:00 pm.  So, instead of getting there 15 minutes early, we got there 15 minutes late.  I don't think we missed much since they were still working on the oath.   Several girls said, "Tatiana!" as we came in.   It was day two of the Photography badge work.   All the girls were sent out with cameras to find interesting photos to take.   We walked to several different areas around the church.   The kids were told to find interesting shapes and get some close up.  Most kids took their mommies cell phones or tablets.   Actually all other girls.   I think using a real camera helped Tatiana to take better photos.  Zooming for example was easier and more intuitive.  There was a girl that was doing a trial meeting.   Her mom had signed up her son for the boy's group and Tracy had suggested that they sit-in on the AHG meeting.  Tatiana was very nice to the new girl.   I really appreciated that.  The girl was really sweet and I hope they sign up.   The mom said that they don't have the money for it, but that girl might want to use some birthday money she just received, but that it would be up to her.  They are homeschoolers too.

One of the photos that was needed for the badge was a blurry photo.   So, the troop went to the Gym.  The kids lined up on one wall, and the mom's had the cameras on the sidelines.  Then on "Go", the kids were to race across and the mom's were to take a blurry photo of them running.   Tatiana's camera was set on 2 second delay.  So, I got no one.  I asked them to race across again since I missed the photo.   Then the other mom's realized what a great idea that was to tire the kids out so several of the moms claimed they needed another try at getting a photo.

Then the kids picked a photo to show to the other kids.  They were to pick one that was very zoomed in and have people guess what it was.  Tatiana went first.   One of the other girls picked a photo that had Tatiana and Danielle, the new girl, running around so they were a little blurry.   Then for the second round the girls were to pick their favorite photo.
