What do we do when it is cold and snowy outside? We meet up with other kids and parents for a pirate treasure hunt of course!! Although it was chilly we still had a great time! One of the Moms set up this awesome scavenger hunt that was super easy for kids to do. It was an intro to orienteering, and Chloe fully embraced it!
The map took us through a big park, and even into the "ghost forest". Chloe is into all things spooky so we stayed at the ghost forest for quite a while. Maddie loves spooky stuff too! Where did these girls come from?! I cant even watch scary movies!!
At the end of the hunt was a pirate treasure chest! And boy was it loaded with some awesome treasure!! All of the kids kept coming back over and over switching out the the treasure they wanted to take home. Too cute!!
Jewels!
There was also a playground at the end, so the kids were extra happy! Poor Maddie is still so little, and it was hard for her to maneuver well in her big puffy snow suit.
She made the best of it though and had just as much fun rolling around in the snow as running in it.
We stayed about an hour and when it was over I was chilly!! The girls did so well I wanted to give them a treat so we went to starbucks for some kids hot chocolate. Maddie fell asleep on the way there so Chloe got the whole thing to herself. Notice this before picture my daughter. She is clean and well groomed....
And after.... it looks like we neither bathe or do laundry at our house.
Nobody can say she doesn't enjoy her hot chocolate! We are excited for our next outdoor playdate! I think I will be recreating this scavenger hunt idea for at home activities as well. Such a hit!

Your new group sounds so awesome! I would not have thought the girls were old enough for a scavenger hunt! Now I want to try one too.
Looks like everyone had a great time. Who knew kids that young could understand the concept of a map? What a fun adventure!!
