Brownsea Island

Brownsea Island has been on my to do list since moving here so I'm glad that we were able to go. The missionaries wanted to do something fun for p-day so they came with us and invited 2 other sets of missionaries.

This is the boat that took us out there.


Brownsea Island is where Lord Baden-Powell formed the scouts and guiding programs. That is the reason why I wanted to go out there so bad. I remember learning about them when I was a brownie and a girl guide and a brownie leader so it was really nice to be able to see where it all began. My mom would have loved it because she helped bring guiding to my home town and its really really beautiful there.


Me, Mardy and Lord Baden-Powell



Ya...so we went with the missionaries...funny kids




honestly did we really need to spend a half hour taking pictures of this bird?


It only tried to peck Raven once but they ended things on good terms.


Girls, these may be eligible bachelors soon but for now they are off Limits!

Oh Charlotte!!! You are so much fun...and always have been! Raven is just so stinking cute. She still throws me off though, because I always expect to see this DARK hair girl...like a little Charlotte. I guess that comes from Mardy. She is absolutely beautiful, and I think she gets that from you.
