2 Yetta Hey Princess Dads and Daughters, Trail Boss Letter: Well, another month has passed and a few more events are in the books. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter break and I m sure you all had fun at the Easter party. How could you not have fun running around hunting for eggs or hopping like a bunny in the sack race. Speaking of the bunny hop races, did you all get a chance to watch them? A few of them were close; they were won by a hare. Get it? Hare? Like as in a bunny well, never mind. It was a fun event and I would like to thank all the outposts and officers that put it together. Next up was the Car Race. I just wanted to say congratulations to all the girls that decorated their cars and competed. The cars looked great and even if you car didn t win, you should still feel proud. Congrats to all the girls that walked away with trophies for winning or decorating and congrats to the Tigerlillies. You managed to beat Trail Boss One. Good job. But we will see what you got at the boat race. Since May is upon us that means two things. The start of summer and bowling. Finally!!! Don t forget to get your registration in to Mr. Payne ASAP. After all, we ve waited so long for this event; you don t want to miss it. And don t miss spring camp registration. It s at this meeting. Grab the form in this issue and hand it in to me after you read this. Camp Fitch is THE nicest camp we go to and there s so much to do, you re not going to want to miss it. I hope you re all working on your lip sync skits. Remember, you don t have to do the dance from Just Dance to your song, you can make up your own, but you do have to get your inspiration from the game. And by inspiration, I mean the song. Can t wait to see them. We re then going to end the month with our first parade of the year. So put on your princess vest and make sure you re wearing some comfy shoes. Bring some candy to pass out and get ready to sing songs and have fun. Don t forget to mark your calendar for Fathers Day movie at the drive in and don t forget your boat kits. May and June go by fast. You don t want to be left at the dock. Mark and Ashley Ruda 2012 Trail Boss Friends Always!
