History Quest

 
Each year Lehi City has Rodeo Days which brings a week of fun activities.
The Hutchings museum had a History Quest. We decided to take on the challenge. It was a series of different clues placed at different locations and websites. I was ready to call it quits with the first riddle...this has never been my specialty. You should have seen Jacqueline and Thomas! Their minds were racing. They found the first clue and we were off! After 2 days a lot of brain work, guessing, laughing, driving around and luck we finished in 10th place. The person in charge told us she wasn't sure how we got as far as we did since we didn't understand the clues as they were intended. We just found them in our own way :)
For days we have laughed whenever we think about it because we seriously don't know how we figured it all out. We had such a great time and we even got a pretty great prize out it. the kids have already told Matt that he is doing it with us next year.  With Matt's brain work just think of the possibilities!

Jill,

You are absolutely the greatest MOM! Your kids are SO lucky to have you. You always do things to build memories. Thanks for being an example to me.

I need to be better.
