A couple weeks ago, friends asked us to join them for a picnic and swimming trip. Unfortunately, it rained on our parade, but these friends of ours are smart - they had a backup plan. What do you do with a dozen or so kids that were hoping to spend time swimming? You take them to the mall for a scavenger hunt, of course!
3 moms with a combined total of 16 children split up into 4 teams and wandered all over our local mall looking for the mall map...
...having pictures taken with an employee (fairly rubbish pictures, but whatever)...
...saluting in front of the Yankee Candle store...
...and collecting various other items like employment applications, tissue paper, and strangers' signatures. It was so fun - for the kids and for the moms. I think the highlight for us parents, though, was the opportunity to publicly embarrass our children by providing the winning team with a victory dance. Who could pass that up?
