Mother-Daughter Tea.

Our Mother-Daughter Tea was at Park Place in Shafter this year.
It was such a gorgeous venue.
The owners were extrememly gracious to our budget...and to think I almost didn't call them because it is such an up-scale venue.
Troop Leader Carolen helped me with the entire process. We wanted to have a traditional high tea this year, so she had her Aunt meet with us who has been to a ton of them and told us exactly what they eat and what they do at "high teas."
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We had traditional foods: sandwiches, fruit, veggies, desserts...and of course tea.
We kept it very simple but fancy.
 The girls made coursages for their Mom's.
We talked about manners again of course...! {I'm such a stickler on manners!}
We gave away door prizes.
I think we pulled off the Tea. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit warm which made it hard on the food. We can't really control that.  You live and learn. Jotted down some pointers for next year. Hopefully, they keep getting better and better.
I am so grateful to all the ladies in our Girl Scouts lives. 
Thank you for coming and making those memories....!
I know the girls seem so grownup and think it's nonchalant, but they talk about these events with us and how they love when their families come...!
Thank you to Carolen and all the other people that helped gather tea cups, bring cake and everything else that was done....not by me alone at all.  Everything is put together by our wonderful Troop.
