Scavenging

For the last 10 months, my favorite thing about my life has been being a Club leader. Club is a youth group that was an integral part of my own high school experience, and now I get to spend quality time getting to know some really awesome teenagers. My own small group of girls are seniors at Fairview, and they're some of my favorite people ever. I'm not sure what it says about me that I get along with and connect to high schoolers so well, but I sure do love them. This summer I got to go The Bahamas with my babies, as well as to their summer camp - The Week.

On the second night of The Week, we were all under a pavilion by Lake Dillon, when a torrential downpour started. It was one of the most intense thunder storms I've ever been in, and it poured rain for four or five hours. Since it was impossible to go out and play our planned night game, we decided to drive everyone over to the local Walmart for some warmth, hot chocolate, and a scavenger hunt. I was super excited, not only to get warm and dry, but also because then I could accomplish goal #45: Go on a scavenger hunt.

This was our list. We weren't able to complete it because Walmart doesn't carry Risk and there is no demo make-up. But we did win. Mostly because everyone else gave up after about 5 minutes, and did this: 

I was pretty set on getting as much as we could, perhaps more than anyone else, and we were definitely proud of ourselves for a few of them. Such as the Statue of Mary (which we found in the garden section). Either way, it was a fun break from the rain and cold.

I love my senior ladies.
