Passport to Provo

A#1: These boys LIVE FOR a good scavenger hunt.

B#2: They LOVE everything about Guinness Book of World Records and have lots of their books.

C#3: We got to combine both these things by participating in the making of the Largest Scavenger Hunt ever--and documented by the Guinness Book of World Records! Woo woo! 

Jess got everyone headbands on the day of and apparently that was all that was needed to let out every ones competitive side!

"According to event organizers, 2,079 people swarmed downtown Provo and surrounding businesses to participate in the challenge to set the record for the world's largest scavenger hunt, double the previous record. The previous record stood at 924."  Woo Woo!!!

Checking in everyone had to get wrist bands and go through the special Guinness World Records gate so they could count everyone.  Kade and Luke wanted a picture with the Guinness lady. :)

After checking in, and getting all the rules and the sites we'd have to choose from.  We needed to complete 15 tasks anything from sample a free churro and chips and salsa at Los Hermonos (yes please) to fly a kite, or shoot a basketball at the Provo rec center....yay!  Anyway, we waited out front for the race to start for about an hour....and then.....

...we were off! Jess spotted the mayor of Provo--John Curtis, so we snagged a picture with him...check!

Next, farther downtown we all needed to tell a joke on stage for the judges.

Run through the splash-pad at Pioneer Park.  This was Max's favorite.

Fly a kite--woo woo (not so much wind...so it really was more--run with a kite :)  

Here we also picked up what trash was left (I think we found a straw wrapper?  It had been picked clean by everyone else--woo woo)

 This one was supposed to be, 'Take a selfie with a llama"...trying to get all 6 of us AND the llama posed to be a very hard thing.

Take a picture by this Mario mural...

Doing the thinker pose in front of the mural of Einstein.

After running all over town sampling things, doing service, hanging out with llama's--we made it back with plenty of time to spare to make it in the count for the record! Woo Woo!  Plus we all got 2 new shirts and soda pop!  WHAT?  We love free shirts around here.  Such a fun fun fun day hanging out with this group of guys!

Oh, and they made a video of the whole thing and we were even featured in in 3 times--well Rhett 2 times and our family once. :)  It was way fun!
