"Y" Princess Group

Britt and Rylie joined the YMCA Princess Group. If you haven't heard of it it is a group of dads and daughters 4 years - 4th grade that get together and learn different things. Kind of like girl scouts. The dads are in charge and plan and do it all with them. No moms involved (kind of). A few weekends ago they had their 1st of 2 big campouts. They went to Oklahoma and stayed at a cabin. There are 9 other dads and daughters in Rylie and Britt's group. They went fishing, horseback riding, learned how to start a fire, and went on a great scavenger hunt. The girls found a grasshopper and decided to keep him as their camp mascot and named him Hermit. They stayed for two nights and had a great time. They will have another campout in the Spring and for Valentines day they go downtown Dallas and have a daddy daughter dance with all the Y Princess groups in the area. Other than the three big activities they meet together once a month in someones home and have a activity or do service for someone. I like that it gives the dads and girls the chance to spend one on one time with each other and the dads are in charge.

This is such a great idea. What a fun thing to do. Good job Britt. I haven't heard about this at our Y, I will have to inquire.

Man, I wish our Y had the same program! I'm sure my girls would love it. What a great thing for Britt and Riley to do together! He's a great dad!
