Scavenger Hunt

I am always trying to come up with fun ideas to do with the kids.  So on Sunday morning, we decided to skip church and go on a scavenger hunt at West Edmonton Mall. 

With the list and my camera in hand, we were ready to go. 

I made up the scavenger hunt as a fun way for Alyssa to see West Edmonton Mall but also so I could get some shopping done while she was having fun. 

First thing on our list....nail polish
We both got our nails done to start the morning off. 

Next thing on our list....the skating rink....

 
A cell phone (but not mommy's)....
 


Ladies Boots....

 
Fountain #1....
 


A mask (I meant a halloween mask but when we went to Jungle Jim's for lunch she definately found a mask).

 
French fries....
 
 
Stairs....
 
 
A Sea Lion....
 
 
We both loved the sea lion show and Alyssa really liked the sea caverns and touching the stingrays.
 
Back to the scavenger hunt.....waterslides...
 
 
The next thing on our list was a car (I meant a real car on show in the mall), however after walking up and down the mall we couldn't find one.  But then Alyssa realized she had been driving in a "car" all along.  LOL.
 
 
Mickey Mouse....
 
 
A woman's hat....
 








Fountain #2....(a place where she could throw a penny and make a wish)

 
We had one more item on our list....an umbrella....but, we couldn't find one anywhere.  So we left a little sad that we couldn't complete our scavenger hunt.  Until Alyssa was looking back through the pictures on the camera, on the way home, when she discovered that we had in fact found an umbrella....
 

So we completed our scavenger hunt and had a blast doing it.  It felt like we were tourists in our own city and I'm sure that it will be a family tradition that we will start.  I can't wait to take Lucas on one, however he is still a little too little and wouldn't quite get it.
