Recuperating after Raisa's party

We had the best 13th birthday party for Raisa last night! We sent her and 6 of her friends on a photo scavanger hunt around town! It was so fun. We split the group in 2 (I had 4 girls and Kevin took 3). Each team had their own digital camera and had a list of about 20 different photos they needed to get.
They needed photos of their team at a welcome to coffeyville sign, with a firefighter, with a headstone of the last name of "Smith", at a laundromat, in a shopping cart, with a Disney movie (and what was weird, is both teams took photos with the same movie, but one team found it at blockbuster and the other team at Walmart!), working behind a cash register, waving to traffic, with a stanger in front of Walmart and behind bars (which was fun to see them use their imagination on this one! My team choose to have it taken behind "bars" as in Ceasars and the other team took it behind metal bars.), just to name some. They also needed to collect a few "items" like an empty bucket of chicken box from KFC, a business card from a hotel, a takeout menu from a restraunt and other things.
It was so funny. The other team went to KFC before we did, and they told them to give our team a hard time about the bucket lol, and so they did! We wasted like 10 minutes there haha!
We all met at Pizza Hut at 6:30 for pizza and cake. I took their cards from their cameras to Walmart and had 7 copies of each of the photos taken and am putting them in a little 4x6 photo book for them to keep. I have one teams photo on the top and the other team on the bottom of the same shots so they can see what each team did for each shot. It was hilarious listening to them talk about where they went for their shots when they finally met back up. I would not let either team text or call anyone on the other team so we had no idea where they were at.
I think they were all just the perfect age to do this.
Then, today, I took them all to the mall. We just got back and I think everyone is BEAT.

So, I am going to go rest up as we are heading to Houston tomorrow. Just routine scans. We will be back on Wednesday evening. I will be updating my twitter (which also updates my facebook). Then, Thursday is graduation and Friday we are heading to Branson for the weekend. I could use a vacation HAHA!

Take care,
Kasey
