A treasure Hunt!

Today we had a fairwell party to Hailey, Bentley, and John Henry as they are going to start school next week. We had a treasure hunt, no nap, Lil Ceasars Pizza, party decor, lots of candy, water guns, and played in the pool. I severely regretted the no nap later in the day. This has been the longest day in the annals of babysitting!!!!

I used Word to find clip art pictures I could use for treasure hunt clues: such as a bird bath, the dog bowl, swing, picnic table, water hose, my mom, my car, and ulimately the green house. They found about 12 clues. I was surprised at how well they did on their search. I sorta/but not really hid the clues. The treasure chest was hidden in the green house. When they got there, they never saw the chest, they were still looking for clues. Inside were all the goodies my mom had supplied for the party, the toys, candy, decor etc... The chest was conveniently a former 20 yr old toy box.Dad put up stone looking skirting before he started the siding.

It looks likea totally different building doesn't it? This is the same wall. Don't know when the little ham got in there.

I'll be leaving Sunday for a week long trip with Concord youth to Philidelphia. I am so excited.
