Big Goals

My youngest is 10 and in Girl Scouts. She and her two friends (also homeschoolers) have decided that they will each sell 1,000 boxes of cookies and they are doing it together - which means that they are selling 3,000 boxes!

They are wanting to go to Washington D.C. in June to attend the 95th birthday celebration. Since Washington D.C. is about 3000 miles from here we picked up a US map today so they can track their progress - 1 box = 1 mile. They've sold about 600 boxes so far - 600 miles - they've just passed Boise, ID and are almost to Twin Falls.

They are also trying to get at least 500 boxes donated to the food bank. They've gotten over 100 boxes donated so far - so I think they are doing GREAT!

They've been taking orders since Jan. 6. They get their cookies Feb. 9 and then the race will really be on! At that point we will be living and breathing cookies!
