The Scavenger Hunt idea started simply enough – it would be a surprise for Corelyn, who is now in the midst of relocating back east. Before we knew it, there were 600+ items on the list, three teams, and 12 hours to fill with fun and adventures.  The rules? Each item must be photographed or videoed, and all team members (except the one shooting) must be in the picture.

Before I post a few photos of this madness, I implore you to check out Megan’s video on You Tube – it is AMAZING. I’ve watched it countless times since she posted it…not that I’m partial or anything (Please be forewarned, there is some vulgar language…particularly from my teammates ahem).

Also, the perfectionist in me feels the need to mention this – keep in mind that these photos were quite rushed as my team forbade me from wasting time on artistic creations 😉 Anyways, here’s the Green Team (and likely champions)!

Blue Team! What kind of person makes color-coordinated feather headbands for all the girls on her team? Weirdo…

Purple Team! + Jen Troy 😉
