I recently took the kids on a scavenger hunt at the Portsmouth Hannaford with "Miss Heidi," as my kids called her, and we all had a great time and learned a lot.

By taking the kids through different sections of the store and talking through different choices, she taught us about healthy foods vs. "treat" foods.

It was also fun to see the other store employees getting involved. In the seafood department, for example, one of the guys brought out a couple of lobsters for us to look at and talk about.

Nicholas, tagging along at age 2, was a bit too young to get the full benefit of the experience - and, indeed, had to be forcibly restrained from strewing fresh produce around the store - but Lorelei (age 4) got a lot out of it.

Free and educational fun! Would be a great outing for a school field trip, too.
