FIRST DAY TRADITIONS 2012-2013 ~ TREASURE HUNT

Boy, am I late posting this! We hit the ground running on Labor Day aka First Day of School & haven't come up for air. We are having a great time. Here are some of our photos from our first day of school.  This post is our Treasure Hunt.


This year Dave made cubbies for Princess.  This is to organize her learning activities and to make it easy for her to access.

Sisters

As our tradition is every year the youngest plays their Treasure Hunt first.  

This is the first year Princess really got into it.  She was eager to get started.

Finding clue after clue............

It didn't take long for her to dig into her treasures.
Now it's Bugsy's turn!
