On Friday, Bronco and I took 14 kids to Seattle for the day. Fun times were to be had--an I-Max movie, a Pink Floyd Lasar Light Show (whoo!!), and a photo scavenger hunt all over downtown.
Now, I admit--the scavenger hunt was my idea, but I was certain that the kids would think it was stupid and rebel. I thought it would be fun, but I'm not that far removed from college, and it seemed more like something college students would enjoy than high school students.
But, I was pleasantly surprised. We had three groups of students, and they turned out to be rather competetive, once it was announced that they were in the running for McDonald's Ice Cream. My group of three girls was so good about talking to strangers a
nd asking for permission to take photos . . . and they were bold too -- asking random Seattlites to do headstands on the sidewalk, lend us bicycles, and pose for our Kung Fu photos.
At the end of it all, our group was not victorious, but we did get to play fake instruments with a Bagpiper Street Musician, and we got to hold some dead fish at Pike Place Market.
That, in and of itself, was worth more than all of the McDonald's Ice Cream Cones in the world.
