"National Scavenger"

God really gave me a great idea for our 4th of July family celebration. We had a scavenger hunt. Kendall was not aware of this plan so it was fun to watch him with Lily and Easton! Follow the pictures to see what happened!
Everyone was ready to go!
Daddy read the first clue...Go to the room where Daddy keeps our extra supplies and the Jesus Film equipment!
The STORAGE ROOM!!!
"I found it, Daddy!!!"
The first clue was glasses...
"Go to the place where Daddy keeps the wheelbarrow"
Easton wore the shoes and Lily wore the apron.
The last clue they found the "Declaration of the Helgren Family" and a red bandana (because I lost the American flag...DOH!) Lily was Betsy Ross and Easton was Benjamin Franklin! The last clue they had to find Mommy and read the special declaration. We read it and we all signed our names to the "Declaration of the Helgren Family"!
Easton signed first...
Then Lily..."L...I...L...Y"
Lauren even doodled her signature!
Mama
Daddy
Later that night, we topped off the "National Scavenger" by having chicken nuggets, french fries, and brownies for dinner and we watched "National Treasure 2" as our 4th of July celebration!

  1. That was a really cute idea! The scavenger hunt looks like great fun, and I love your declaration, especially since you had the whole family sign it - that is something you will have to keep and pull out sometimes over the years!
