Scavenger Hunt

One of the days my folks headed into Asheville to visit the Biltmore Estates. The kids and I had been and I knew Mom and Dad would enjoy in more on their own than with three uninterested (been there, done that) kiddos. With that we did a little hike around our cabin and did a scavenger hunt.
Reagan searching. The list was very diverse so all involved would be challenged. The little two sought colors and shapes of leaves, rocks, and bugs.
The big two found things like a leaf with dew drops, moss, and even this that didn't belong (trash). May as well keep the area clean.

We went back to the cabin with our collected leaves and used some for rubbing. Brett also had an assignment for school to make a book of leaves he'd collected that were sorted by the type of edge they had. Great timing on this project, leaves we no problem to find! He was excited to bring home some leaves that perhaps his classmates wouldn't have.
Some of their rubbings. This also counted as a cub scout project for Brett.
