And the Hunt Begins!

      I got a call on Tuesday from my friend Keshia Tanner with a proposal that we send our husbands on an Easter egg hunt around the town. Though I was pounded down with homework, I couldn't resist the idea and so we quickly came up with a plan. Instead of writing my 23-page paper for my infancy class, I wrote the clues for the places we would send our husbands. 

    Our plan was this: Tell the boys that we were meeting together Wednesday evening around 5 p.m to play games. And so at 5 p.m. the next day, Dan and Keshia showed up at our apartment to play our favorite game, Sequence.

    When Brian opened the box to set up the game, Dan spotted a yellow egg marked #1. He asked what it was and Brian grabbed it and opened it up to read:

When your tummy starts to whine
and it just won't be quiet
get something from Little Caesar's
and you will satisfy it

Both boys were a little confused until I said, "Sounds like a treasure hunt! Get going!" They laughed and took off for the car to go pick up the pizza we had previously paid for and find their next clue. Keshia and I took off for the park with the rest of the food to meet them there when they figured out the next clue. 

Now its time to indulge and devour
before it gets too dark

Hop in the car and drive on over

near your home at the park

Answer: Adams Park

    The boys got lucky when another family that decided to hide eggs in the park at the same time spotted our egg and pointed it out for Brian and Dan.

The next clue was this:

Answer: True Aggie A

This next clue was hidden under the A!

A place we recently ventured together
You must go before it is too late
To the trail of a large stone structure
Don't worry the next clue is just at the gate

Answer: Concrete Playground

We took these two on a spontaneous night hike a few weeks ago. The next clue was hidden in a log and read this:

A small little pond is the home

of these creatures that eat mostly bread

Your next clue will be hidden there

Sometimes I think they will all be dead

Answer: First Dam (Duck Pond)

Then it was off again to our next spot:

When you're feeling less than fresh
and there is just one place to go toward
to pray, worship, and renew our covenants
in the house of the lord

Answer: Temple

It wasn't over yet! The next clue took us:

We have shared many memories together
I hope to always remember
We once roasted stories as well as food
in the glowing embers

Answer: Tanner's Firepit

They thought it was over here, but we weren't done with them yet:
This night we went on a date
and you brushed your hair with a comb
to go eat popcorn at the big screen
and see the action of Sherlock Holmes

Answer: Cinefour Theater

Now FINALLY! It was almost over! They found the last egg that read:

Our first activity together
in a cold November rain
to slurp up the delicious ice
to even more freeze our brain

Answer: Zeppes

    This is where we all hung out for the first time and so we decided it would be a fun place to end our little adventure! Woot! Happy HAPPY EASTER! :)
