Trophy Quest was modeled after "The Amazing Race" TV show. They all got into FHE groups at the park. They were given a puzzle to figure out. Once they figured it out, it would lead them to the parking lot. Here they were given instructions of their next task... which was getting an egg from point A to point B using each group member. After they brought the egg back, they got their next clue.
The next clue, lead them to the Blue Roof Chapel. They had to drive over there as a group and find hidden Easter Eggs. once they found the plastic Easter eggs, they opened them up to find the next clue. When lead them back to the park... at the benches.
Once there, they received another set of instructions, which told them they needed up to 3 groups members to finish a whole pie to find their next clue. This was the really fun part to watch. They could not use their hands and most groups did use 3 people eating one pie. It is like bobbing for apples. Can't think of the germs. At the bottom of the pie, in a plastic bag was the treasure map! They got another set of instructions telling them that the map was leading them to different places in the park where they had to pick up 4 flags of the same color and then the "X" on the map is where there next clue would be.
So they chose a color, and ran from the pond, to the bushes at one corner of the park to a Frisbee basket at the other end of the park finding and collecting these flags. The last flag was given to them at the next station. Where they received instructions to solve a puzzle using the scriptures and then had to unscramble a word which would tell them where to go. That word was "Playground".
So here is everyone running to the playground to find the LAST clue that would lead them to the trophy! It was fun to watch everyone running all over the place and getting really into this activity that Jessica and I worked really hard on.
In the playground was a sign that gave a clue to where the trophy was hidden, which ended up being in a gutter by someones house. The group below was the first there and the first to find the trophy! The Champions! They were pretty excited and got really into the game... which I loved. I am proud to say that even though I did not participate (because I helped plan the whole thing) General Mills came in 2nd place! Way to go!

Jessica and I were happy when it was over and saw how much fun everyone had and what a success it was! We were the master minds behind it all. It made me feel like I was on the activities Council all over again! It was a lot of fun for us to plan too. We got into all the details. Hooray for fun FHE activities. Hopefully many more to come. Sorry this was so long.

Awesome. I love that pic of you and Jess. Someday, I won't have to be inactive/antisocial....someday. Hopefully August contains that day. Also, you should totally come with Tina and I today. You can still make it to tutoring. I make it to my 7pm Zumba class every week. Totally possible to do both!
Love it! Super fun and creative!
I think you are the most fun person I know.
