Ya bunch of Scavengers!

I know it's been a while but I'm going to stop apologizing for it, from now on you are going to have to take what you get! And with a good attitude! Well, ok, I'll try to be a bit more frequent, but it's been a busy last little while. Especially now that my Mom and Sister are here visiting me, I don't have as much time to do things like write to you all, so I'll try to write a few in a short amount of time.

So let's start from last weekend.

Jamie Bower and myself were given the great honour of planning a "day-O-fun" for one of our few free weekends. So on friday of last week there was the first ever First Annual Mostly Photo Scavenger Hunt! That means that you are in luck because I have many photos to show you. I didn't put them all up, because contrary to popular belief, I am merely mortal. I hope you enjoy them as I sought to choose some of the best.

We split everybody into 4 teams so there was about 5 people to a team and they had to run around for just over an hour to do as many things as possible. Most were photo's, some were videos, and some they had to bring things back. Instead of posting everything they did, it was an exhaustive list, I'll post what they were beside the picture.



9. Picture of WHOLE team (That mean EVERY team member in the same picture)

Team 1: Brandon(Wyoming); Danielle(South Carolina); Nathan(North Carolina); Claire(England)

Team 2: David(New York); Noah(New York); Abby(Michigan); Dan(Scotland); Rebecca(Sweden)

Team 3: Jessica(Virginia); Jesse(Alberta); Jesse(Michigan); Caleb(Alberta); Annalee(Massachusetts)

Team 3: Chad(Michigan); Kelly(Texas); Luke(Alberta); Sharayah(New York); Micah(New Hampshire)


Jamie and Myself weren't participating in the actual hunt as we were the judges and didn't want to taint our biases any more than they usually are.

So there you have it. Last weeks scavenger hunt was a wildly popular success. You may be wondering, well, that's cool and all, but what did they get for a prize? Well, glad you asked. Actually, the winning team got a signed 8 x 10 of myself and Jamie(See the photo below), they also each got a small chocolate covered marshmallow easter bunny, along with a personal sized photo. All in all, I'd say they're pretty lucky!
