A glimpse of a teenage scavengerhunt









Ashley had her 13th birthday party last night...a photo scavenger hunt at the mall. What teenage girl doesn't like the mall?! We started off the night at home with Pizza, cupcakes, and presents.



Happy birthday, to you!



Make a wish...


Little sisters LOVE to watch their big sisters friends...and join in on the fun.





After opening gifts, it was time to go!





Going over the rules...no running, screaming etc. OR going away with strangers. Hey, you never know. They split up into 2 teams...




Let the photo scavenger hunt begin!!!

Ashley's team motored through the list...and beat Matt & I back to the food court. Gotta love the toilet seat cover and the toilet paper! Way too funny!








After the scavenger hunt was over, the girls walked around and ahopped at the mall until it closed.




With a quick pit stop to DQ for a blizzard.




They had a great time!


Matt decided it would be fun to have all 11 girls pile in the car for the ride home. Ahem...I know I know, not a wise decision. But they had so much fun.


Especially when they had to do a chinese fire drill in front of a boy's house from their school. I think it will be a night to remember for the fun factor. After what seems like a week of celebrating Ashley's birthday, we can be done. Just in time to start planning Mia's 8th birthday!
