Autumn Amazing Race



What a beautiful day! I make the bed and look out the window and ponder a great day out doors...only to see two kids on their iPods on the couch, watching netflix.

Challenge #1: Good morning Manns children! Today is the Autumn Amazing Race! Your first challenge is to get dressed and head outside. Take your iPod with you. You must use leaves and sticks to create a work of art. Once you have completed this challenge, send me a photo and wait for your next challenge.

Challenge #2: Great Job! Now find a family member and take a photo of them beside a piece of harvesting equipment.

Kennedy found some burrs before I even gave her the challenge!
Challenge #3:  Search the yard for the most beautiful fall tree and take a photo looking up at it while lying underneath it.

Challenge #6: Show me you are ready for winter. You can use any winter clothing or toys you can find.

Challenge #7: It is almost hunting season! Find a spot that would make a really good blind and take a photo from there.

Challenge #8: Text a Grandma to help you write an acrostic poem about FALL. Take a screen shot OR Write an acrostic poem.

Challenge #9: Walk to the closest field and take a photo of yourself posing as a scarecrow...or take a photo of  an actual crow.
