So, the September mission is to head outdoors on four occasions. We are not fans of the outdoors. Well, I am not a fan of the outdoors. The kids actually really like to be outside, but lately they return covered in mosquito bites and that's not a good thing.
I registered for the website and found a nature inspired scavenger hunt online (The Taylor House). Then we headed outside. Normally, my kids love being outside, but yesterday there was a little grumbling and complaining. But, I was persistent and once we got busy finding items on the list the kids were full speed ahead. Maybe it was just a new concept for them, this was our first scavenger hunt. We skipped half of the list, I really wanted to avoid mosquito bites, but for kids my age, eight items seemed like a good stopping point.
Here's my mission submission:
For our first mission, since we chose to accept it, we had a nature inspired scavenger hunt! A quick Internet search and we had a list of items to search for and were headed out the door! We did have to cut our search a little short and skipped several items on our list. I opted to take a photo of the items rather than have the kids actually collect them and bring them inside. My favorite item on their search list? Something you think is beautiful!
I had just a little trouble getting everything uploaded to the website. I'm pretty sure my photo collage was too big and once I chose a smaller photo, it seemed to upload okay. It was slow, but that's probably my computer. Next time I'll try saving a version of the photo at a lower resolution and see how it goes. We're only three outdoor activities away from our first free book!
