IKEA Scavenger Hunt

I have mentioned before that I belong to a great group of friends.  We all worked at the same school at one time or another.  When some of us started leaving that school for other jobs or babies we started having monthly get togethers so we could still see everyone on a regular basis.  The last time I planned a get together was last October.  We did pumpkin carving.

August was my next turn for planning.  I decided on a scavenger hunt at IKEA followed by snow cones.  Air conditioning and ice.  Totally appropriate for August in Phoenix, especially because both Amy and I are pregnant.

Here are the shots from our FUN day.

Take a picture of:

A team member sleeping in a bed.

A team member in a tent in the kid's department.

A team member sitting on a couch, watching TV, and changing channels with the remote.

At least 2 team members holding a serious IEP meeting at a square or rectangular table.

A team member chopping vegetables at a kitchen counter.

A team member replacing a light bulb in a lamp.

A team member cradling a stuffed animal like a newborn.

A team member posing very excitedly with a very boring object.

A team member holding 12 identical decorative pillows.

At least 2 team members eating dinner at a round or oval table.

A team member using an official IKEA measuring tape to measure a bookshelf.

A team member relaxing in a Poang chair.

A team member feeding a stuffed animal "baby" that is sitting in a high chair.

A team member smelling candles with a pleased and relaxed look on their face.

A team member looking at their reflection in the mirror while applying lipstick.

A team member thoughtfully analyzing the pile on a rug.

A team member crying at the beauty of a piece of art.

A team member fluffing the pillows on a bed.

It was a great day.  I do have to say, though, that despite IKEA being air conditioned we were all sweaty and burning up by the time we left.

These babies tasted so good:

Until next time, ladies.

P.S. For those inquiring minds, Team Brenda, Joni, Maryellen and Shireen "won".  I'd like for it to go on the record though that their shower picture is not really in the shower and is actually just a shower curtain, because they couldn't find a shower and a stupid employee told them there wasn't one.  As you can plainly see in the picture of Team Amy, Lauren and Natalie, there is a real shower. 

So- we're all winners 'cause we're cool like that.
