The adults gathered around on Saturday while the kids were off playing to make up the following clues for a treasure hunt....
We've gathered you 'round the fire pit
for something fun to do.
A treasure hunt is what's in store...
here's a map and your first clue:
In the fort where you can fart,
your very first clue will loom.
Search the north wing and it will be
in the corner of the room.
The Lower Lair is your next stop,
you'll think you're pretty cool.
The very next clue that you must find
is in a box of tools!
Toward the Sleepy Hollow
is the way to point your shoes.
Your clue is on the hammock's wood...
If you take a snooze, you lose!
Hanging from a lower limb
at Halle's Hideaway,
just like a plane is your next clue.
Read it, then run away!
Jog down to Quiver Corner,
but don't trip as you go.
If you get to the target, you've gone too far -
Look for a tree as white as snow.
At the Kozy Kobe
a pink flag hangs in the air.
Hurry up and find your clue
before getting eaten by a bear!
At the Grumpy Groundhog,
the clue is plain you'll see.
It's hiding underneath a bush
that looks like a Christmas tree.
(oh da do da day!)
The Outer Limits is really far
so hurry... don't be late!
Watch your step, 'cause there may be puke
as you open the tailgate.
As soon as you finish reading this poem
run to Symphony's Sleeper.
You'll find your clue on the porch
sitting underneath the sweeper.
Over in the Quad Corral
there is a place just dandy.
Look inside the saddlebag
of the quad of Brad & Candi.
There's a place at the Komfy Kaden
under a big rock, you know.
When you pick it up to get the clue,
don't drop it on your toe!
Tylee Ann Happy Land
is where we stop to eat.
Look real hard, you'll find a clue
under a wooden seat.
There is a clue at the Stop & Drop...
it's behind the light, you see.
Take the note and read the clue -
don't stop to take a pee!
Over at Kode's Cook Shack
it is a happenin' spot.
You'll quickly find your next clue
beneath the cowboy coffee pot.
This hiding place is an easy one...
just look a little bit
under the horseshoes for your next clue
in a place called the Snick Pit.
Now you've gone through all the clues...
you're each as sly as a fox.
Open up the shed's side door
and find your treasure box!
*The treasure was a Rice-Krispy Treat and a fruit-rollup for each kid.
