Wedding Weekend Scavenger Hunt

My brother got married over labor day weekend.  Some of the close family spent the whole weekend together at a Bed and Breakfast.  The wedding was there on Sunday.  Before the wedding, the couple asked me to create a scavenger hunt for the family to do on Saturday afternoon.

I did a separate one for the adults and the kids.  Both had 3 rounds. For each item they had to use a camera or their phone to take a picture..The 1 round was a Nature Hunt, it was simply items you can find outside (flower, bug, stick, etc.)  The  area has some trails so that is what will be used for the scavenger Hunt.  The Second round was a riddle hunt... first they had to solve the riddle (I am a rainbow in a box), then find the item.  The 3rd round was a wedding hunt... it was shots they were supposed to look for and take (someone running, a very old person, etc.)  There was also a bonus round.  For the kids they got 5 points if they brought back water from the lake without using a glass, cup, or bowl (shell, plate, shoe, spoon).  The adults had the same items as the childrens, and then alot extra.  The child and adult with the most points, wins a prize.

They are supposed to keep their pictures and then upload them to the wedding website when they get home.

*I am writing this friday before I leave... and right now there is rain in the forecast all weekend :-(.  Not sure if we will be able to do the scavenger hunt, we might just do parts of it inside one of the lodges, we shall see.  I will let you know what happens.*

*After wedding update*  Well it wasn't raining, but it was muddy.  We did the kids on the lawn on one side of the house, and the adults in a big area on the other side of the house.  We only had 3 kids that participated- only 5 in that age group.  And 2 couldn't read well, so we did it as a group and all got a prize.  The adults ended up doing three teams of three...I think they had a lot of fun. They were literally pushing each other over at times to get to things.  I hope they post their pictures, because some of them were really funny.
