Treasure Hunt 2010

So - I decided to do a Halloween Party again for Chloe this year. I'm just as excited as she is about it - if not a little more. I am CHERISHING these days with her as I know there will come a time (ALL TOO SOON) when she won't want anything to do with Halloween parties. :(

This year I decided to do a Treasure Hunt for the six girls who will be with us this evening. I had TOO much fun making this little rhyming game up and so I wanted to share it with you. I've included the anwers for all of you to see... shhh!! :)

I will post pictures tomorrow!

CLUE # 1 (Chloe reads)
Happy Halloween all you witches and warlocks
here is your first clue...
He scares you as you enter into the long driveway
that's where you will find clue # 2
(blog friends - this is our scarecrow in our driveway)

CLUE # 2 (Hannah Blakely reads)
So you found clue # 2 and that was GOOD
but you have so much to see...
hope the tree ghosts don't scare you
as you search for # 3
(blog friends - this is the paper ghosts we have tied up in our tree)

CLUE # 3 (Victoria reads)
You are doing well and on your way
closer than you were before
be careful not to cross the bridge
as you look for # 4
(blog friends - this is the bridge we have over our pond)

CLUE # 4 (Maya reads)
Do you like to dance and groove?
Do you like to jive?
Check out where there's music
and you'll discover # 5
(blog friends - this is a boombox I'll have with music playing)

CLUE # 5 (Hannah Bartenslager reads)
On summer days it's nice for dad
to swing out in the sticks
but don't sit around too long
as you're finding # 6
(blog friends - this is Trevor's hammock he got this year for Father's Day)

CLUE # 6 (Samantha reads)
There is a sky so blue
when you look to towards heaven
but something else is up there managing the wind
could it be clue # 7?
(blog friends - this is our windmill we have by our pond)

CLUE # 7 (Chloe reads)
“Be careful” is what my mom says.
You'd better have a mate...
because it's lots more fun that way
as you jump to # 8
(blog friends - this is Chloe's trampoline)

CLUE # 8 (Hannah Blakely reads)
You are getting very close
but the treasure will be mine
if you can't locate in the cornstalks
for the next clue # 9
(blog friends - this is the decorative stalks I have on our front porch)

CLUE # 9 (Victoria reads)
AHA! There's only one clue left
Find it if you can!
Don't burn yourself in the fire
as you arrive at # 10!
(blog friends - this is the bonfire pit)
