Rick's Annual Easter Treasure Hunt!!

Clue 1

There once was a guy named Dad

A genius for rhyming? Not bad

If it was a limerick

He knew he could kick it

His Easter egg hunt was just rad

So lets get the show on the road

And tear up our humble abode

SOUP will be steaming

Teeth will be gleaming

If you can decipher the code

Clue#2 (Soup Pot)

Now you're prepared for the worst

Take care of your teeth at the first

To brush and to floss

Preventing the loss

Of your smile and romance be cursed

So hop, skip and jump like a bunny

You kids are so awesome and funny

Although you are spoiled

Your hearts are not soiled

Now run off and feed your horse Sunny

Clue #3 (Sunny's hay)

I hope that your paying attention

The meaning of Easter I mention

The Savior is risen

Sin can be forgiven

Atoned for us, then the ascension

Proceed with some thought on the matter

You should be happy not sadder

Now this life is bright

A stunning delight

To REPLACE DARKNESS you might need a ladder

Clue#4 (lightbulb cabinet)

Not bad crew, you're doing quite well

You might have a story to tell

Be careful the chips

Might add to the hips

Leaving you shaped like a bell

It might do some good to run laps

Around the yard little saps

Or maybe some labor

For us or the neighbor

Like trimming the lawn perhaps

Clue#5 (by the mower)

Great work, you are all on a roll

Beware, larping can take a toll

Smacked in the eye

Making you cry

Feel like hiding your head in a hole

But enough teasing poor Caden Vance

He can fight with the air like a dance

His heart is pure gold

Reading scriptures so bold

You might look next where he keeps his pants

Clue #6 (Boys pants drawer)

This clue is about our sweet gunner

A reader, a beautiful runner

I'm speaking of Morgan

She can't play the organ

But, she can score on a test like its funner

She stresses and fusses while preparing

Makes flash cards, the volume is scaring

She has a sweet ride

The next clue is inside

Girls can crank up the tunes without caring

Clue#7 (Girl's Car)

This clue is about little Blake

Stop sucking your thumb, heaven's sake

Loves Solo and Potter

Jack Sparrow is hotter

These his heroes not cartoons, too fake

The guy will eat food that is white

Noodles with butter his delight

Loves a nilla wafer

Perhaps it is safer

You'll climb to the next clue a height

Clue #8 (Treehouse)

Finally it's time for our Lexi

She's awesome, and bubbly and sexy

Called Dooley Cheeks

She dreams of the geeks

She can network, the master of texting

She might ask for veggies and fresh fruit

Go all day, and all night, she's a hoot

Not really a driver

A driver's test striver

Go look round the pool for the loot

Clue#9 (Pool equipment)

I hope you are all having fun

As crissing and crossing you run

You'll make it a day

Playstation to play

For the hunting is just about done

So gird up your loins and be stout

And think of your blessings about

This place is our home

But sometimes we roam

Through this passage you might just drive out

Clue #10(Driveway)

To the end of your journey you've come

Goodies and presents you've some

Remember what's true

And good works to do

We're here like the Lord to Become

Some say that life is a great race

The struggle and challenge embrace

What others don't know

The direction to go

Where we pray, we look up to his face

(living room where we have family prayer)

I missed this year's hunt because Ginger and I went to the temple for our Relief Society Fill the Temple Day. I don't like doing the hunt on Sunday so we can focus on the more spiritual side of Easter. I am glad Rick documented with pictures so I could see a bit of the fun they had. This is one of our traditions the kids look forward to the most!! The love the clues their dad does.

(All in their pajamas still!!!)
