The other day, I planned a little outing with my three children. I made a list of 15 items to find and take pictures of in or around the town square where we live. My two older children made up one team, and the youngest child and I made up the second team. We had a blast trying to be the first team to take all 15 pictures before the other team. Later on, when we got home, we showed our photos to Dad and he became the judge of the best photos!
The photo above was taken after the scavenger hunt. I had packed a simple picnic lunch and we sat down by the Gyöngyös Stream to enjoy some refreshments and recap our adventures during the scavenger hunt. Amidst cookies and conversation, the children kept saying how much they enjoyed our adventures in town. It wasn't anything huge, yet I think it's the little things such as a scavenger hunt that stick with us into our adult years when we look back on our childhood. I want to strive to make more such memories with my youngsters in the few short years I have left with them.
