Girl Scout GirlaPalooza

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts. In Georgia, they held a special GirlaPalooza event at Six Flags on Sunday to celebrate the 100th anniversary. The park was only open to Girl Scouts and their family and friends. Our troop decided to go, as well as a few moms and James & Chris. Though James & Chris pretty much did their own thing - we did meet up with them now & then.


Hannah and some of her Girl Scout friends with Penelope the Turtle - a Girl Scout mascot.

Now they are posing with Daffy Duck.

Hannah rode the Wheelie a couple of times. This is the last year for the Wheelie. A new ride will be in its place next year.

There was absolutely no line at the Superman ride. That's what we were hoping for! The girls predicted that there would be more younger Girl Scouts at Girlapalooza than older ones. I don't know if that was true or not, but the lines for some of the bigger rides were definitely short.

Here they are at the end of the ride.

We rode the Monster Plantation ride next. It was beginning to rain a bit, so the covered waiting area was a nice place to stay dry.

Earlier this year, Chris & I made a donation to the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. A few weeks before GirlaPalooza, we got an invitation to attend a special VIP reception during GirlaPalooza. I rsvp'd for Hannah & myself. So when it was time for lunch, Hannah & I went to the VIP reception

The VIP reception took place at the Crystal Pistol. We sat at a table with two other mother/daughter couples. The VIP reception was for donors and for girls who have earned the Gold Award.

We got cotton candy & popcorn.

There were veggies & dip, fruit & cheeses, sandwiches, churros, nachos, and fried apple pies.

Here's Hannah with her fun food!

More rides

No line for the Batman Ride either.

On the drive over to Six Flags, I was telling Hannah about the entertainment at the park. I mentioned "Matty B" was going to be there. I had no idea who he was, but evidently she did because she and her friend who was driving with us both started screaming! Evidently Matty B is a 9 year old You Tube rap star. So some of the girls wanted to go to his Meet & Greet session. Here's Hannah with Matty B!He is awfully cute!

Then on our way out, we saw one of the other entertainers, Lindee Link. We didn't know who she was, but the girls wanted to get her autograph and picture.

We had such a fun time!
