Middle Child celebrated her 16th birthday at the mall last night!
In honor of her request to not be shown on my blog, the whole group posed for this picture. I think when we took this one, we were still waiting on 4 kids to arrive. Yes, we had a pretty large party.
What did they do at the mall you ask? Well, we had a scavenger hunt!
I split them off into groups of two and gave them an hour and a half to find the following items. I was astonished over how much they got into this!
Rules: Collect as many things on the below list as you can.
No RUNNING. (or you will get more items added to the list)

Brownie Sundae Embarrassing my kid Staff singing backwards
(The crew at Johnny Rockets gave her a choice of a veryyyy lonnnng birthday song or singing Happy Birthday backwards.
