We’re about to finish our first year with kindergarten Daisies. I feel like we had a pretty fun, successful year and most of the parents have indicated they plan to renew and stick with us. What’s next for us as first graders? I thought we would do journeys but after some investigating I don’t think my particular girls would be into it, and the badges and materials are a little pricey even before being retired. We‘re going to vote on our badges and activities in the fall, but what else can I put on their radar? Do daisies camp? None of the parents leave their kids alone at meetings or council activities so that feels a long way off.

We’ve had the Lymow One Plus for two weeks and it has rained nearly every day since! Had a go during an in-between rains period when the grass was a little wet this weekend and afterward it wouldn’t charge. We moved it into the garage and put fans on it and it’s charging now, but we also discovered a broken spring on one of the Omni wheels. I’d say it’s done less than 10 sessions total and our yard isn’t anything special so I’m not sure how that happened. We have yet to cut the whole yard due to the weather but I suspect it will take multiple days to finish all the zones because the battery drains so fast and we have almost an acre.

So far, I like the concept and I’m sure if we could have some nice weather it’d be great, but I’m definitely not happy to have broken parts so quickly and the battery life is a bummer. I think we’ll have to get out the riding mower 😭
