Mother Daughter Retreat - A HUNT....

To break up all that cleaning, scrubbing, dish washing 

FUN we were having...

I prepared a little HUNT

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

(Those cute girls Phin, Princess, Bean & Swan)

wanted to go up against 

US
