Every Summer, I set up both a treasure hunt and a photo scavenger hunt for my kids. The treasure hunt is exactly what it sounds like - they have to follow annoying clues that I write, running them all over town until they dig up some toys and books that they want - and the photo scavenger hunt you probably figured out too; they get a list of things that they must take pics of in order to succeed. The shot to the left is last year's "something rusted." I just gave them this year's list, and I thought I'd share it with you in case, you know, you're on it or something. Some of the list items won't make sense to you, but rest assured that my kids know what all this stuff is. Also, you can play the home version by printing this out and taking a bunch of pictures! Yeah, but you have to send me a dollar to cover licensing fees and such.
