#14-Have a Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt {52 Outdoor Activities}

{52 outdoor activities} is a series featuring a unique idea for each week of the year to inspire you and your kids to get outside for some fun.

Our girls are right at the age where a visit to the pumpkin patch can be more than just obtaining a pumpkin.  So we had a scavenger hunt.  The first thing we did was find the biggest pumpkin – that’s C pointing it out.

Then we tracked down the tallest, the weirdest (those reddish ones at the top) and the smallest.

Then we found the bumpiest one.  C was not impressed.

Even if you’ve already gotten pumpkins this year, there’s still time for more scavenger hunts…

#8 Go to a game {52 outdoor activities}

{52 outdoor activities} is a series featuring a unique idea for each week of the year to inspire you and your kids to get outside for some fun.

It’s a little early for this, but on Saturday we went to a football game.  Or, as I was told this particular event was a called, a scrimmage.  I don’t know the difference.  The point being, we went and watched a game.  It was fun.C was excited to dress the part – of a cheerleader, not a player – and had some questions about how football worked.  P was interested up to a point and then wandered into the baseball diamond next to the football game.

Anyway, we’re not big sports people, but it’s fun to be outside at a game.  We look forward to taking our girls to minor league baseball someday, and to more high school games.  Any suggestions for other games for us to attend?
