Listen to internet radio with Journal Jabber on Blog Talk Radio
We're still in Wyoming and today we're going on a treasure hunt. I've rigged everything pretty well. This morning, after Cade left for work, someone knocked on the hotel door so loud they woke up all of the kids. By the time the Hippie and Scribe finally opened the door, the person had fled and left an old book with this note in it:
And this map:
Something amazing happened yesterday. After Cade got back from work, he took me around to hide little treasures near the trail we made. Along the way, we went behind a catholic church and found a hiking path that leads to the cemetery! It's the most beautiful little trail. I can't wait to show you pictures of this. The kids are going to love it.
Well, I better get going. The kids are so excited to follow the map to a haunted graveyard. It says that a secret path will reveal itself every day at noon when the clock strikes twelve. All right--I'll admit it--I'm having way too much fun. I'll post pictures tomorrow.
What fun! I love treasure hunts and sounds like yours will be a blast! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Also great that your kids are excited for it. I might be able to get one of mine into something like this. The other two, though, would be all like "yeah yeah yeah, can we go on a roller coaster now?" :)
ReplyDeleteTO THE HUNT!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are so lucky to have you as their mom--you make everything into an adventure!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a grand adventure, I'd have tons of fun with it too. Sure the kids will love it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the pictures! Sounds like you guys are creating quite an adventure. Fun to listen Melynda on the radio program, thanks for posting the link.
ReplyDeleteLike Siv, waiting to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou are making us wish that we were with you having all this fun. Can't wait to see the pictures. I enjoyed Melynda's show last night and can't wait for her to finish her new book about cults and killing. What a change of pace.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about this! Looking forward to the culmination of the tale :D
ReplyDeleteOh they are going to love that!
ReplyDeleteThat. Is. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI need a treasure map. One that leads to my bed and a box of Dove chocolates. And maybe a nice bottle of Brucetta wine....
How much fun is that???? What great parents....as I always say, making memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat great parents you are to come up with such a fun activity for the kids. When my kids were bored, I hid my head under the covers and pretended it was impossible to awaken me.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
How fun! And graveyards are actually pretty cool. We visited a couple while in Boston last year and my Social Studies in the Classroom teacher took us to one for a project when I was still an Elementary Ed major a few years ago. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou are creating wonderful memories for the whole family. :)
