This clue said, "This notable boulder inspired a local restaurant."

This team had to be climbing.

This team had to find the 22,000 pound replica of King Arthur's Table!
(It's kind of tucked away in our town - a hidden treasure!)

This team had to figure out where the Two Chiefs statue was.

And this team had to strike a "dramatic pose" outside of our downtown theater.
It was SO much fun and I think both the kids AND the adults learned some new things about our community. I did learn one thing though. You can't take pictures outside of our courthouse.
One team's clue said for them to take a picture at the building where you go to get your driver's license. I knew that the kids probably couldn't go inside because of security concerns, but I didn't think there would be a problem with them taking a picture OUTSIDE. Mercy sakes, the guard came over and insisted on seeing that there wasn't a picture on the digital camera and everything. I felt kind of bad about that. That team came back to the church saying, "Well we might have won if the cops hadn't stopped us."
Not exactly the impression I wanted to make.
Oh well. I had called many of the businesses to explain that the kids would be stopping by, but had not anticipated that issue at the courthouse. Now we know though and we shan't do that again.
See, EVERY day is a learning day.
Have a great week!

I wanted to tell you "thanks" for reprinting the THM article on boys - love it, now that I actually have one!
