Mother Daughter Retreat - A HUNT....

To break up all that cleaning, scrubbing, dish washing 
FUN we were having...
I prepared a little HUNT
a little 
PHOTO Scavenger Hunt
(inspired by other blogs & my brothers doing one with the kids last summer)
SO creative 
SO fun
SO many memories!

The PLAN was 3 teams 
Moms & Daughters
but with THESE STINKERS
we Mothers were overcome with 
Begging
Pleading
Plotting
conniving
All for the Purpose of Changing 
MY plans
what did they want me to change???
Just the groupings
they 
(Those cute girls Phin, Princess, Bean & Swan)
THEY 
wanted to go up against 
US
the Wise
Discerning
already BEEN THERE & DONE that 
MOM's
oh YEAH?

yea
do they KNOW how hip and with it WE are 
and have been?
hmmm
guess not
MATCH ON!

I won't give you the WHOLE low down, 
as you can see the list is 26 items LONG
here's just a few of our SNEAKY highlights
DEER
it did NOT say 
Living deer
Breathing deer
Real deer
or even DEAD deer
 (sorry Machine man.. better luck next year)
the list simply stated.. DEER
Ta Dah! 
Deer Rubbing
we won this..
the girls picked some sad tree with an infection
SO not a rubbing!
What was Princess thinking?

yes.. the list said
GREEN GRASS
look-e look-e
what we found!

Ghost Car
spoooooooooky 
right?

it would seem
THIS time
they had BEEN there 
and done that..
BLAST!
they beat us to it!

angel
yep
I even wore Machine Man's coverall's so I could plop on down
in THAT there snow
and make an angel
Like I was still 5 years old
and ya know WHAT?
it was fun!
till I had to GET back up
(Thank you Mrs M & Mrs. O)
I would STILL be there 
if not for GOOD friends like you!
things GOT fun and a bit silly..
Us Moms had a LOT of fun spying on our kids
and THEY
are definitely OUR children
as they covered evidence so we COULD not win 
Coyote bones.
.hmmmm
so our daughters

there they are...
The competition
will they find the RED squirrel?
or won't they?
Will tonight be AS clear as today?
Will we see Orion?
hmmmm
