Daisy show

Maddy's troop performed a little show called "the missing things' (where the girls have to, you know, find the missing things).  At end of the show, the girls got their Brownie sashes

Teenager "Estelle" is searching for her lost cell phone....

Maddy "moves up" to become a Brownie



Maddy's graduation

Here is Maddy's graduation from Sr. K.  So now we've been through this 4 times (Jr. K and Sr. K for both kids).  Still moving to see them walk down the aisle to "pomp and circumstance".
At the end, Maddy sings "Bye bye butterfly" one last time with her K classmates.
