A new Minerette year has begun. It's our third and final year. Last year was kind of a disappointment, so the senior parents this year are determined to get the girls united as a team and hope that good things will happen. At the very least, they will have a more positive experience. We started the year with a social based on Survivor. It was a lot of fun.

The girls were divided into two teams, and they painted their faces.

Motto for the year.

The girls had to do a bunch of challenges. The last one was grabbing a gumball with their mouth out of a pie tin full of whipping cream. The winner was the first to blow a bubble. The gum sort of fell apart sitting in the cream so no one won. Just as everyone thought it was over, one of the girls smashed a pie tin full of cream into Amy's face. Amy immediately got her back and then bedlam broke out. It was hilarious. They were all such a mess. The mom planning the whole thing just stood there and cried, "This isn't on my agenda!" Sooooo funny!

The girls ended with a nice pep talk from their coach and a bracelet with the word Lanakila on it. Lanakila means "to bring victory" in Hawaiin. It was a fun way to start the year. The next day was the car wash. We washed cars all day. Being a Minerette mom is a lot of work. I'm pooped.
