Harbor Patrol Outing

After today's trip to meet the Metropolitan Police Department's Harbor Patrol, all other Daisy meetings will pale in comparison.

The girls started out by learning from a Harbor Patrol officer that when they they are near the water -- boating, fishing or paddling -- they must always wear a life preserver. They colored iron on patches with the slogan "Life Jackets: They Float, You Don't" which were then ironed on to t-shirts.




After everyone made t-shirts, we all donned life preservers and headed out to three police boats. I think the officers liked showing us just how fast they could go and how tight a donut they could turn! And the girls laughed hysterically the whole time. As one girl shouted "This is the funnest day of my entire life!"




As my husband remarked, it's a wonder their hair didn't get knotted together!

Thanks, Kevin (Cassie's dad), for organizing!
