A St Patty's Day Treasure Hunt

For Saint Patrick's Day I took the kiddos on a treasure hunt. A Map was deliver to the Credit Union for the kids from "You Lucky Little Friend."

The clues on the map read as follows:
1.) Count 20 paces to the south
2.) When you spy a Yellow Fire Hydrant turn left
3.) Sing your ABC's as you look for the street called Hilldreth
4.) Collect 3 sticks as a trade for your prize
5.) Turn left on 5Th street
6.) Hop like a frog 4 time
7.) Take another left on Cedar St
8.) Spin in 3 circles and enter the door with 804 on the outside
9.) Once inside follow the trail of clover to your Pot Of Gold!!!!

We had a blast. I don't think Everett really knew what he was looking for, but he played along very well. At lunch when I asked him what St. Patrick's Day was he replied "it means you run in circles in the water and have a Thomas The Train Cake."

Their prize was candy & pop. Everett rarely ever gets pop and Emma's pretty much never has. Both items were a nice surpise for the kids. Emma tried eating a peanut butter egg with the wrapper still on and a sucker in her hand. After that I decided it was probably time to put the candy away :)
