Last Day Of School


For the last day of school we have adopted the tradition of having a treasure hunt for the kids with a fun activity being the prize at the end. We have been doing this with friends since Alex started kindergarten. This year, after collecting clues from Amber in the hospital, Becky at her house, and "going all over town" as the kids said we ended up at Sonic with all their friends for slushies, and then headed off to Celebration park to play and splash. Despite the very, very windy day, the kids had a blast. This has been a fun tradition, one the kids remember and get excited for. (They even cooperate really well together to solve the clues!) Now I have 4th grader and a 2nd grader, can you believe it?

So now what do you do with them? Do you have a Summer schedule? I think that when James is in school I will "borrow" your treasure hunt idea. It is a great one.
