After the nature hike, we went swimming, had lunch, went canoeing, more swimming and then had dinner. After dinner the Girl Scouts built a campfire where we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. The Brownies performed a skit they had prepared, and the Daisies sang "I'm a Little Daisy Dressed in Blue" as well as a few other songs learned during the day.
And finally, here are the lyrics to a couple of the songs we sang...
Chicago Fire Song
10 nights ago, when we were all in bed
Old Lady 'Leary lit a lantern in the shed
and when the cow kicked it over,
She winked her eye and said
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!
(Divide into four groups so that each group shouts the following in turn.)
Fire Fire Fire Fire!
Pour on water! Pour on water!
Save my children! Save my children!
Jump, lady, jump! Jump, lady, jump!
Sing the song 10 (or start with a lower number!) times, singing it faster each time.
Just a Boy and a Girl in a Little Canoe
Just a boy and a girl in a little canoe with the moon shining all around.
He paddled his paddle so...you couldn't even hear a sound.
So they talked and they talked 'til the moon grew dim.
He said you better kiss me or get out and swim!
So what you gonna do in a little canoe
With the moon shining all a...
The girl paddling all a...
The boy swimming all around!
