The girls spent the weekend picking apples with Molly's Brownie troop (the boys stay in North Augusta and worked and played soccer). Friday after school, we headed to Spartanburg and "camped out" at a Girl Scout facility - it was basically a big room with lots of space for air mattresses, a kitchen & bathroom facilities. (I didn't know that there are Girl Scout facilities all over that troops can use for little to no cost.) And on Saturday, we headed up to Flat Rock, NC to pick apples at Sky Top Orchard. It was a little rainier and colder than we expected, but I guess Girl Scouts just put a smile on their faces and keep going.
