A favorite game for our gransons is the treasure hunt. It started last June after Patrick made a craft foam pirate chest that he would hide and want us to find. Now it has evolved to what you can see in the pictures here. Every weekend the 'Pirate' leaves a treasure map in the 'booty closet' for them to follow. Patrick has become so good at solving the maps that he can now use a compass to follow the clues to the treasure chest. In these pictues you can see the original treasure. Since then the chest has held t-shirts, play-doh, and other small toys. This past weekend Patrick confided in me that he thinks the 'pirate' is Grandpa. I asked him if he thought that Grandpa looked like a pirate. He said he was not sure, he needed to see if Grandpa had a tatoo!

How cute!
Patrick enjoys this so much that he even took the treasure maps to school for "show and tell." Aaron has even gotten into it as much as a 1 year old can.
I thought of the boys this weekend. We took the kids to the LA County fair and there was a Pirate area. There was a Pirate Trio singing and different stations for the kids to make crafts. Charlie likes pirates but was too distracted by the nearby train whistles, so off to the trains we went.
