Where to start...when Erin was little she would love to walk around our house looking for toads, turtles, etc...We would hear some noise outside and knew it was Erin. Next thing we knew, there was a knock on the door with Erin pulling small critters out of her pocket ready to share all the wonderful things she had found. Our girls spent hours playing on playsets in our yards as well as sledding down the hills. Throughout scouting events the love of outdoors never stopped. She found a small toad that had died while at Camp Conowingo. Erin created a leaf bed for the toad then sent it off down the river to "send it off" to a better place. While creating a vegetable garden for the homeless, Erin was sharing how grubs were not good for the plants and showing the other girls how to squish them. On another camping trip we went canoeing. Erin was with Katrina in a canoe and wanted to know how deep the water was. She became very entertained by the mud at the bottom of the lake and was digging it up in heaps. Then out of nowhere her paddle dropped into the water-never to be seen again! All the girls that went still look back on this and laugh. At our last meeting the girls talked about their dreams. After doing her typical, loading her chocolate pudding with TONS of Cool Whip, Erin shared that her dream was to be Christine in Phantom of the Opera. Throughout the entire meeting she was singing songs from the musical. Great memories of a truly wonderful young lady.
