Gwen told me last week that she thought we should have a scavenger hunt. I promised that we would have one, and let me tell you, she did not forget my promise! I made up 10 clues and put them in plastic Easter eggs. I wasn't sure how hard to make the clues or how sneaky I should be about hiding the eggs. The clues were pretty easy I thought, but I just wasn't sure. This was an outdoors hunt, so everything could be found outside and I wanted it to be a fun thing for us to do, not a frustrating one.
I was making dinner and Gwen was anxious to get started. I handed her the first clue, basically hoping she'd let me dish up dinner, and didn't the little smarty pants proceed to read the clue to me: "Oh my goodness dude, this is were I eat my food." I stood there dumbfounded as she said, "I know, Grandma, it's the picnic table." Duh. Clearly I had made this way too easy!
Gwen decided that the next scavanger hunt should have 12 clues and it needs to be a little bit harder! She is just growing up way, way too fast!
