The rain didn't stop our fun! No one even had to ask, they just came, rain or shine the egg hunt party is on!!
More then 300 eggs were hidden on the trails in the woods.
Some were easy to spot and some were hidden well.
Everyone hunts...
big and little...
young and old.
Most worked in teams.
Not slowed a bit by the weather.
Smiles all around as the baskets filled...
...and the rain came down harder.
Slowly they all retreated to the barn.
To dry off
count eggs
and eat. Everyone made something to share, a fabulous feast!
Whats next?
A scavenger hunt of course!
Feather
Smooth stone
"Y” stick
Circle
3 things from 1 tree
Something soft
Sprouting acorn
Triangle
Bark with lichen
Something man-made
I think the BIG kids had the most fun!
Some kids learned some new things. Whats "sprouting"? A pine cone and a oak leaf are not from the SAME tree. "What's lichen?"
They all eventually completed their list and headed out for
Our Amazing Race Game.
Go to a sandy place and dig for 5 shells.
Find the spools and make a stack of 10 blocks.
Gather 10 acorns and shoot hoops. Get all 10 in.
Fill a wheelbarrow with sand. Dump it in the sandbox.
Find 20 pine cones and put them in the tractor sandbox.
Give Murph a back rub. He will tell you when it is complete!
Take a treasure from the chest!
They all worked in teams and showed great creativity!
Finally making it to the treasure chest!
Smiles all around!
You thought that was it! Oh no. After some cocoa to warm up we were back at it.
There can't ever be too much fun!
The rain finally started to let up.
Big kids get blindfolds.
I don't think there is any candy in there!!
The rope broke off. Murph taking one for the team!
I will let you guess what happens next!
We had an awesome day. If you came, thank you. If you missed it, we hope to see you next year. Scout received this beautiful basket, hand made by our friend Ritche Leone, and an adorable bunny. Life is Good!
