James and Julia's 7th Birthday & Boys vs Girls Scavenger Hunt!

This year for the twins' birthday, we decided to do a boys versus girls around-town scavenger hunt.  We called in aunties, uncles, grandparents and cousins to comprise our teams and provided a list of things to do and find around town.  All of James' men piled into Grammy and Poppy's suburban and Julia's ladies had to break into two cars (that she jumped between midway through the 2 hours.) The boys may have gathered a few more points, but pretty sure we were all winners in the end.  We devoured In-N-Out at Grammy and Poppy's and spent the day cooling off in the pool!;)
