Palmer Family Reunion-Treasure Hunt

When I was a little girl we would have a treasure hunt every year at the Palmer Family Reunion. I loved dashing around from clue to clue that my grandma had written to help us find the treasure. My family has carried on the tradition of having a treasure hunt at our family reunions. This year my mom, and my sister Michelle and her husband Tyler were in charge of it. The wrote the cutest clues and they rhymed (not and easy thing to do).
The kids each got to take turns reading the clues and then being the leader to the next clue.
The kids had to do something each time they went to a new spot in order to get a new clue. This one was to "hug grandpa".

My brother Mark was one of the clues. The second he saw the kids coming at him he started to run. The kids LOVED chasing him around to get the clue.
They had to sing "I am a Child of God" when they got to this clue. It was cute that my nephew put his arm around Palmer while they were singing it.
At the next clue they had to do somersaults. Lincoln's got some good form :)

While this was going on the men had a soccer shootout. They each tried to get the ball in the little kid goals from clear across the field.
And while nobody was manning the pavilion, McKay discovered that he loves Cool Ranch Doritos. He ate them to his hearts content as there wasn't anyone to stop him.
The shoot out continues.
They finally found the treasure!

Earlier that day Hunter slipped off a picnic table taking a huge chunk out of the back of his leg. Josh bandaged him up pretty well.
Hunter checking out his loot.
They each got one of these alien looking creatures.
They thought they were pretty great. Last night Hunter was dipping his in a cup of water and flinging it EVERYWHERE. He soaked the kitchen floor with it.
The Dorito eating continues...
We finally dragged him away from the Doritos with at bag of candy :)
