Valentine's Day Part 2

The big event of the day was a scavenger hunt (Leslie - I stole your idea!). Their clues were ready for them at the breakfast table. We let them read the first 2 clues so they would know what we were doing (Mike will often leave them mini in the house hunts before he works). The clues started from church.

Clue #1: The place you like to eat that has the funny hamburger man:
Answer: Sylvester's Burgers - YUMMY!

Clue #2: This is where we go to feed the ducks and ride bikes.

Answer: the Lake Park. With loaf of bread in hand we walked around the lake and made sure all the ducky families were fed. Well, all except the evil hissing geese. I tried to get a picture but couldn't capture the hiss. Weirdest thing. Ask the girls about it next time you see them. Hilarious to see their impression.

Clue #3: This place has cold stuff you like to put a worm on...
Answer: Yogurt Creations

This is one of those places you make your own yogurt and put your toppings. We love it.

The worm on top:

Clue #4: Where did we see teeny tiny baby somethings???

Answer: The Pet Shop. We had been here about a week earlier and they had teeny baby mice.

Clue #5: Everything here cost 4 quarters.

Answer: Dollar Store

The girls each got a dollar to pick one special thing...

It was very funny to see the contemplation on each of their faces as they decided how to spend their dollar.

They finally decided: Kailee chose pretend coins to use for her "classroom" and Addie chose gel window cling ons.

Clue #6: You look for bird nests here...

Answer: HOME!

Our juniper trees have been the home for about 6 bird families each spring. They love these trees. We love watching the baby birds go from egg to flying away.

We had an absolute blast! I would highly recommend this for any family looking for a good adventure on an afternoon. It took about 3 hours and I enjoyed every second. Kailee read every clue all by herself. I am continually impressed by her amazing reading skills. It was great to just stop the to do list for once and focus on them and fun stuff they like. Love my girls, Love my Hubbie, Love Valentines Day.
