The weekend before Thanksgiving we had our annual camping trip with the Eakright's and Renfrow's. We had previously decided that anytime there was a baby under 1 we would "camp" at someone's house so, this year we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
Andrea and I decided to make a treasure hunt as one of the activities so the camping trip did not turn into a movie watching, living room sitting trip :-) It was a lot of fun making it and the kids loved it! We made a treasure map and clues for each stop along the way.

A flashed out picture of the "treasure map".
Claire looking for and finding stars at clue #1.
Claire finding clue #2.
Off to find #3.
Hiking sticks at clue #3.
The hiking sticks were a huge hitespecially for Eli, who wanted to be carried until he got his.
Andrea and Claire enjoying clue #3.
Studying the map to figure out where to go.
Looking for our next stop.
It was a good thing Wyatt was there, the clues were right at his speed but a little above Claire, Eli, and Emmett (okay WAY above Emmett :-) ).
Wyatt on the bridge. If you look closely there is a bag of fish bread, snacks and another clue in the middle of the bridge.
Feeding the fish to find the last clue in the bottom of the bread bag.
"X" marks the spot.
Digging for treasure!!
Treasure!!
We filled gallon freezer bags with coloring pages, books, lollipops, Reese's Pieces, Whoppers, barrettes for Claire, and dinosaurs for the boys.
