Searching for their Valentine's

This year Deke and I decided to create scavenger hunts for each of the kids inside the house to find a little valentine's treat.  I had to also add a picture of one of the things Deke got for me.  I of course like most women love flowers and I have also always loved gummies.  Gummy bears, gummy strawberries, you get the idea.  Anyways Deke got me a bouquet of yellow and red gummy roses.  Aren't they cute?????  They were also really yummy.
We made up clues for the kids and then taped their first clues by the front door to greet them when they got home from school.  We also placed all of their other clues in their spots.
Then put their goodies in a final location for them to eventually find....
When the kids walked through the door we told them we were going to do a scavenger hunt.  We first had Emma do her turn.  Her clues were really simple like, "Go to the place where you get clean for the day."  Then she just had to find them.  She really likes playing hide and go seek so she was loving the finding part.
She followed her different clues which eventually led her out to her bike basket where her snack was.
Next it was Ave's turn, here's a couple of pics from her hunt.  Her clues were all rhymes.
A couple pics of Hunter's turn.  His clues were all riddles to solve.
It was really fun to go as an entire family around as each person took their turn on their scavenger hunt.  The kids loved it and it was fun for Deke and I to do for them.  Now off for more Valentine's fun and yummy treats for the rest of the day.  Happy Valentine's Day!!!
