Let's Go On a Scavenger Hunt! - UPDATED

Scavenger Hunt UPDATE

 UPDATE 7-28-2021   So far as I know only one person has accepted this challenge, Cathy at Tales of the TCKK Family HERE.  It's not too late to try it for yourself.  Check out Cathy's post and see what she found.   If you do the scavenger hunt challenge, please let us know and we will share your post here too. I don't have a "linky" thing to connect, but I can always post a link here for others' to see! 

Original Post:

Well, it's about time I was having another adventure, don't you think?  Things have been kind of busy around here, and Mommie hasn't felt much like going on adventures lately, but something special happened and she said we were going to have a fun adventure!  Something called a "Scavenger Hunt".  The special thing was this article came inside a magazine that came in the mail, Better Homes and Gardens, (the August issue).  Here is a link to the Scavenger hunt "Bingo" card:

You could pull it up on your phone and take it with you while you go looking for the things on this list! So Mommie thought this would be a great adventure for us to do together, and she talked Daddy into taking us around looking for these things in our town.  I thought it would be fun if all my friends wanted to do this too, and post your pictures of what you can find in YOUR town!   So, are you ready for an adventure?  Let's Go!! 

These pictures are not necessarily in the order on the "Bingo Card", but they are in the order in which we found them mostly:

Here's the Fire Hydrant! Isn't is a pretty shiny red one?

This tree is supposed to be cone-shaped. But here in Florida it is hard to find a perfectly cone-shaped tree except at Christmas time. So this little pine tree will have to do, Mommie said.

But here's a BIG Pine Cone! It's almost as big as I am!!

And there's a leaf that is bigger than my hand!!

Here's the STOP sign! Mommie said we must always stop and look both ways and listen before going out in the road. 

We don't have any "Little Free Library" boxes in our town, but we do have a big free library!

Mommie has this collection of feathers at our house. Some belong to hawks and some belong to Barred Owls. She has found them in various places over the years and likes to keep them because they are so special.

I found these fun shaped windows right here on Pamela's Victorian Cottage!!

Mommie has lots of different bird houses...here's a few that are in our house, but no real birdies can live in these:

But of course we have a real bird house out in our yard, and here's Mr. Bluebird right now, feeding his children inside!

I remembered that we have this little gnome fellow right here in our very own kitchen:

Isn't he sweet?

And here's a flower pot with a Jerusalem Thorn plant in it on our front porch. Don't touch that prickly, thorny stem! That might really hurt!! But it's still pretty, don't you agree?

Mommie saw these pretty "fun-shaped windows" this morning at our church: 

Aren't they beautiful?

And also here is the American Flag, at our Sunday School Building, with the morning sun shining behind it: 

We had to drive around a bit to find a yellow door, and then here is this one on this cute little chicken coop:   It's for sale if you want to buy it.

And would you believe there was another yellow door, right there at the same place?  The office building where you can go buy that chicken coop also has a yellow door! Who would think you could find two yellow doors in one place??? 

And that same place also had a two-car garage for sale!  So we found three things at one place! That was easy!

Since we were driving around this afternoon, on a Sunday, we couldn't find too many delivery trucks out on the road. But then we passed the Domino's Pizza place and saw this delivery car going out to deliver someone's pizza!

Next we went to a little park that we found while looking for a swing.  Well, first I found this see-saw and wanted to try that out:

"See Saw Margery Daw,

Jacky shall have a new master;

Jacky shall earn but a penny a day,

Because he can't work any faster."

Mommie said she used to say that when she was a little girl on the see-saw. Did you say that too?

Here's Mommie and me on the swing!  

(Mommie wanted you to know that she is feeling better today, good enough to sit on this swing!

And she thanks you for your prayers for her neck.  She believes Jesus is answering your prayers.) She also said to excuse her old clothes. She didn't get dressed up for the occasion because she didn't know she was going to have her picture taken.

And we don't know who's shoe that is in the background.  Actually, there were two of them. Someone must have run home barefooted.

It was fun to swing!!

This was fun too!!  A cute little red car, just my size!

And here is a "merry-go-round".  Mommie said she used to get sick on these on the playground when she was little, so she didn't spin it for me because she didn't want me to get sick.

Oh, we had to find a mailbox, and here was a nice one!! 

And we looked and looked for a basketball hoop, and finally saw this old one behind some trees in someone's back yard:

Here's someone's pretty kitty cat, laying out in the road...but this was a quiet back street with no traffic (except for us).  Mommie said she thinks the kitty is a neighborhood stray. There are a lot of them around town.

We had to find a wooden fence, so this one was pretty! Mommie said it is called a "picket fence".

Oh, there's a garden hose:

And there's another wooden fence! This one is at my big brother's house!!

And guess what?  I found this beautiful baby blue bicycle in their little storage shed! It belongs to my big sister "Auntie Rose".  I wish she would take me for a ride on it sometime!  Maybe she will if I ask her really nicely.  She had to work  today, so she couldn't go for a ride. Maybe next time.

Auntie Rose had a pretty flower pot with some lantana flowers blooming in it.

And here's a heart shape on a book shelf in Auntie Rose's house.

And guess who else I found at Auntie Rose and Big Brother Ben's house?  Not just one dog, but two!!

My little cousin doggies, Sugar and Spice!!

They sure were happy to see me!!

So then we came back home and here I am, saluting our American Flag on our front porch, before we took it inside for the night:

And so, we are checking off all the little pictures on the Scavenger Hunt Bingo Card, to make sure we found them all:

I think we did it!! Now it's YOUR turn!! How many of these can YOU find in your town or neighborhood?  I do hope you will play along and take pictures as you find them! This could be a LOT of fun!! Maybe something you can do with your grandchildren when they come to visit you!

Be sure to share them when you find them!!

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
