| We had a very fun day of Youth and Children's Activities at | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TYGER HUNT 2005! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In the morning, we played a few simple games, tried out Whip Tops, and played with Clay Marbles, a Marble Arch, and other wooden toys. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Later we built castles with mini marshmallows, vanilla frosting, Bugle chips, pretzel sticks and toothpicks. A troop of Cub Scouts hiked through and we invited them to join in the fun! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Best Part of the Day was the Children's Quest! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Children (and Youth) were beseeched to go on a Quest to rescue Baron Byron's Bairn, Barrett (bairn is another word for baby) from the Dangerous Dreadful Dragon (Ahhhhhhh!). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Quest was filled with a great many tasks: Questers had to Prove Their Worth (find a tree with medallion's hanging from it -denoting them a participant in the Quest!); "Take a Potty-Break" (a chamberpot filled with tootsie rolls!); Groom, Train and Name a Noble Steed (Hobby Horses that were oiled (groomed), ridden in figure-8s (trained) and labeled with horse and quester's name); Defeat the Dangerous Dreadful Dragon (Ahhhhhhh!) (firing foam arrows at a 3ft tall dragon painted on a board); Rescue Baron Byron's Bairn, Barrett (a doll dressed in fine garb); Seek the Tyger's Treasure (A treasure chest filled with bubblegum coins and wooden tops that was protected by a Tyger dartboard) and much more! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
