OK - so a gorgeous 55F Fall Day. How DID we pick this day back in August. I could not have been mor perfect. So MM set the kids out to find 17 items with a camera. They worked in pairs - Ready - got your lists - GO......
OK- wait - we need a PRE-HUNT group photo-op! Nice smiles EVERYONE!
Then - G, B and N put their heads together to figure this one out. G is the note-taker, N the brains behind this one, and B keeping them all in line! WELL DONE GALS!
MM didn't make it easy. We weren't looking for acorns and grass. This is "find something straight"...
I think this was "find five different leaves"
This was definately "something folded". M related a shocking tale about Grandpa and how this chair ended up in THIS CONDITON - in THIS LOCALE!
and.... 'something with 5 colors'
Afterwards, we took a nice hike thru our host's property. There is a 'TARZAN and JANE' stop along the way with an AWESOME vine for swinging. Tarzan - eat your heart out! Ah-a-hah-a-ah.....
But not before the 'judges' had time to evaulate the Scavengers results. In the foreground Gretchen is trying to decipher tiny tiny pictures - MaryMargaret does the same with a second group - and Barb with the third. The criteria were simple - the evaluations of 'unique' and 'creative' another story! Especially in those TINY view finders - in BRIGHT sunlight! In the end - the point spread was from 193 to 211, a tough challenge - with similar results for a great group of kids. WELL DONE TO ALL!
And - what would a nice fall day be with out hot chocolate and cookies after the judging was complete? Never mind that they are like pigs - in the hog barn! :0)
(no worries - the swine aren't expected until 2011!)
More vine swinging....
And a nice group shot in a lovely spring place called "Fairy Land"!
Then a little more hiking to the neighbors field and a visit with Falcon (the paint) and Cody (the dark horse).
A good time was had by all. Our hosts say we can do it again. ..... THANK-YOU from all of us....... We'll have to up the prizes - and make it a tad tougher. This crew of mostly the Elementary Gang - did GREAT!
