My husband's BRILLIANT idea...

Chris' birthday was last week and we decided to go up to Denver and hang out there for a couple days. One of the BEST things we did was a scavenger hunt at the mall. He picked a mall that was close to the hotel we were staying at and one that none of us were familiar with. He looked up a map of the mall online and came up with this list...

*Buy one piece of jewelry for under $5
*Buy a kitchen utensil for under $5
*Buy a hot pretzel or cheese on a stick (you must sit and eat the whole thing)

*Get a birthday card for your sister
*Get a Pottery Barn catalog signed by a manager
*Get a brochure from the Apple store
*Buy a bouncy ball
*Pick up a pamphlet from Guest Services
*Get a picture of you wearing a dress


*Get a picture with the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory bear

*Have your picture taken in front of

-an elevator


-an escalator


-a fountain



-Macy's, Dillards, Dick's and Nordstrom



(we have the other pics, but you get the idea!)

*Buy one piece of sporting equipment under $5
*Write down all the stores that begin with the letter J


So we divided into teams but the girls had to do everything. We were just there to hold their purchases and to take their pictures. They got one point for each thing they could check off and a point for every dollar they had left over. They had an hour to get it done and $20 in cash. We had SO much fun! He does have great ideas every now and then! Gotta give him credit for that! :)
