Scavenger Hunt

We went on our first camping trip of 2014 on the Salmon River over spring break a couple weeks ago.  The river is always 10 degrees warmer than our house, so it was a treat to go hang out in the beautiful sunshine for a couple days.

Industrious, creative Ellea put together a scavenger hunt for us prior to our departure.

It was a fun challenge to find something for each category (something round, something rough, something beautiful, a pine cone, two leaves, etc.).

It was boys against girls.  You'd think that with three girls, we'd have no trouble beating out those stinky boys, but they finished just ahead of us!

While we were sorting our collections, Morgan picked up a small round thing and asked Glenn what it was.  Glenn told him it was deer poop and Morgan was a little grossed out.  That's how you win a scavenger hunt... I need something round and there's some deer poop - in the bag it goes!!  Only a boy would be okay with that.  Only my husband, not my son!!!

Here they are all holding their imaginary deer poop!

It was a very fun activity.  Good job, Ellea.  You are now the activity director of all family events.  Can't guarantee we'll always cooperate with your activities, but we'll try!
