June 2nd (Adelyn's 14th birthday party-Scavenger Hunt/Passports/Swimming)

Craig came over for a little bit today to hang out with Nick. They went swimming with Ella.

I prepped for the party. It's been really hard to concentrate and get tasks done since we still don't know if we are going to get our Passports or not!! They have been in review for 2 days??!! What does that even mean. I am about to give up hope. If they don't mail them bye today we wont get them before Tuesday!! Ahhhhh! We will need to make a decision this weekend what we are going to do with the vacation!

Had to caring on and celebrate Adelyn! Her friends got dropped off at 4:30. They brought their stuff downstairs to were they would be hanging out for the evening.

Kaia, Lillian, Taylor, Adelyn and Ava.

Adelyn loves figuring things out so I did a scavenger hunt for them around the neighborhood, then in the car that I would help with. (I literally put this together 2 hours before the girls got here!! My brain is mush but I think I pulled off a fun hunt!!)

Clue #1

Eastbrooke park.

And I made them take pictures at each spot unless I was there.

Now #2 onto RP School.

They couldn't find the clue here...haha. I had to give them a hint. Clue #3 CT

Then they couldn't find it at CT plus Kaia's nose started bleeding so I ran up to give them kleenex.

Helped them find that clue and took them back to our street since it was like 100 degrees out! Clue #4 was Ruth's Trampoline.

Clue #5, back to our house!

(I hid this one cleverly-hahaha)

Adelyn looking. They thought it was in backyard somewhere but had no idea it was in the POOL! Ha.

Figuring it out finally!

They all wanted to jump in at this point with the hot weather, but I knew we had to go in the car so not yet!

Strategically placed net!!

Watching them was hilarious, trying to get it out!

Winner winner chicken dinner!

They got it!!

Time to go in the car to head to the dollar store!!

(The best part of this ride was that I got an email saying, YOUR PASSPORTS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED!!!!

Mother Fucking Oh My GOSH!! Is THIS FOR REALL???!!!)

I flipped out in the car driving, how is this happening.

Next Clue...go inside and pick out one thing that reminds you of Adelyn and secretly give to Stacy to keep for later!

I have never seen teenage girls be so excited to go to the Dollar Store!!

Here they go...so loud!! Ha.

This place was dead around 6 on a Friday night, so if you ever need anything go then!

After they each gave me something for Addie, then they were all allowed to pick one thing out for themselves!! They exploded with Happiness...hahha.

So many choices!

Next Clue, I can't remember which one now...lol.

They figured out it was QT next to pick out a drink to go with Goodcent Subs when we get back.

Here we go.

Everyone got a drink, then another clue.

Olathe East High School!!

I headed back in the car while they headed back walking. Since I needed to get the prize set up!

They each got a cup with candy and stuff inside!

They each got an 8 inch sub to take downstairs with bags of chips and their drink. I set up a table for them to eat at and to hang out down there! After dinner we did presents!
