Treasure Hunt

My family set up a small treasure hunt for the kids on Saturday. They have been sick with the flu for the past week so I know the kids were excited to actually leave the house and do something fun. It sure is hard to have sick kids and encourage them to do something else other than want to watch tv. I am so glad they are better...and I didn't get it...yet.

so here are some pictures of the hunt:

Mommy reading the clues

Running to the apple tree clue
Entering the corn patch to look for the "X"


Unknowingly flinging wet dirt in all directions, including Grandma, Leanne, and eachother




Digging up the hole

Deeper (Emmy is helping a lot with the dirt as you can see)


FOUND IT! The kids thought it was amazing...so easy to please :)

Wow, that sounds like a BLAST! What a great tradition! Jim's family used to do a treasure hunt, too, but it was for St. Patrick's Day (since they are all Irish). Fun!
