Daughters Birthday Party
I am a single mother and my little girl is turning 16 in april and it is her golden birhtday, i havent been able to give her a lot of things, but this one time i want to do something so special that she will not forget it. She is very adventurous and loves to do outside things, but i also need to keep this inside my bugget, we do not have that much money. Any ideas as to what i can do for her?

Hey,
I think you should have a scavenger hunt! All you need is: paper, scissors, a pen, a creative mind, an adventurous searcher(s) and a surprise for the end. Start by picking 10-15 places your daughter knows really well/that are obvious (at home or outside around the house) and use them as places for clues to the surprise.
What you do is this: pick a starting place/thing, make the #1 clue (on a piece of paper) saying something like "you walk in me" (keep this one to hand to your daughter to start off) then stick clue #2 in a shoe (since that would be the answer to the first clue) that says "you walk/climb up me". THEN put the #3 clue on the stairs (since that's the answer to the second clue) giving you the hint to clue #4. Make up clues to fit your object and place them the same way so one leads you to the other. Basically: the 1st clue should give hint to the 2nd clue which should give hint to the 3rd clue, etc. AND the 2nd clue should be where the first one described and the 3rd clue should be where the 2nd clue described, make sense?
So, after you have all that figured out, make the clues and place them when your daughter isn't around/looking. You can have a couple of her friends over to help her search too, which would add to the fun. When she/they get to the last clue, instead of a clue at that next spot, there should be the surprise/treat. You could put candy there, a movie with a bag of popcorn, a bucket with goodies that your daughter likes or anything you think would make her smile. When I made scavenger hunts for my sister, she loved trying to find the next place/clue and was always anxious to find out what was at the end.
If its warm where you live, you could put a picnic basket at the end of the scavenger hunt (or have one just for fun) full of snacks with a blanket and then take her to a park to play frisbee/ball with you/friends and snack on your goodies <3
