Because of the long weekend due to Presidents day, Princess and Prince number one decided to come down for the weekend and Princess three also came home. It was WONDERFUL that we could all spend the weekend together.
We did our annual treasure hunt that the girls love and I don't remember it taking me so long to set up. We had lots going on today but we still all enjoyed it after I got it ready.
To me, that was the best part of the day.
I got the scavenger hunt, yreasure hunt ready and Prince number one has never had the opportunity to participate in our annual Valentine hunt. He was as excited as any of the girls.
There were about 15 stops in all. Some were more hidden but if there is a hard clue, I just give information on the clue to make it detailed so we can have it go a bit quicker.
For example, one talked about doing something "remotely" and we have several rooms with "remotes" in them so they raced around the house looking for the right room.
I wrote them each a card telling them how much I appreciate them and put it in the mailbox with some stickers and Valentines.
I had to get creative because as soon as they knew we were going to start, they rushed to check all the spots I've used before.
We had a great day running for "treasure" and spending to together.
Here is a picture of the clan huddling about near our mail box.
Once done, they sat in the living room and sorted their "prizes" like you do a Christmas stocking.
Princess number one's favorite prizes were the chocolates. They each got their own box and the family got several wonderful chocolate items...
I asked Prince number one what he thought about our tradition and he smiled and said he really liked our tradition.
Here is a link to a past treasure hunt. As you can see from their smiles in the pictures, they LOVE the treasure hunt tradition and I love that they still love it.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!
