A TREASURE hunt!

Saturday, the Mitchell's invited us out to Tammy's cabin in Bucksnort for a day packed FULL of festivities! It was SO. MUCH. FUN! We had kite-flying, off-roading, and a bbq and fried chicken picnic, followed by an egg drop relay race, three legged race, and a potato sack race, then an easter egg hunt, pie baking contest, war stories and rifle lesson, and then a real treasure hunt for the little ones! It was so neat and Leslie's aunt and uncle really put a LOT of work into it!

Layla was thrilled to pieces with this treasure hunt, I just cannot even tell you. It was divided up by age groups and the group leaders were dressed up in 1800s war clothes. They had treasure maps to follow and their course was marked by tiny flags to make sure they were on the right path. Once they found their X, they had to start digging... and digging... and digging! They had literally buried a little treasure box over a foot deep filled with all the right goodies. The little girls treasure was filled with necklaces, rings, lip gloss, silver dollars, etc. Even the toddlers had their own treasure to find filled with animals, books, balls... it was ADORABLE!

After the treasure hunt, we loaded up the kiddos and took a drive on the dirt roads down the waterfall. It was so beautiful back there in the mountains! We were all exhausted by the end of it all, but what a fun day!!

Games!
