Great Mother's Day - Scavenger Hunt Anyone?

All I have to say is that I have the most wonderful husband in the world! He made my Mother's Day very special. He combined my love for scavenger hunts with the love of Maverick. The clues and pictures are so creative, that I just have to share. The hunt led us all around town on our bikes to our favorite places. In the end, I was rewarded greatly with a beautiful mother's day gift...
First clue: Swinging and sliding and playing for hours

You must use your muscles to get all the power

To fly in the trees and over the flowers

I'm so glad this place is next to ours!

This clue led me to our neighbors house where I found clue 2 taped under the slide.
Clue 2: You wish you could climb me so big and tall
It would be a tragedy if you fall
Baths and sinks, I fill them all
If you need a drink, give me a call
This clue tricked me. I knew it was the water tower, but there are two in Vermillion. Luckily Jesse had me look closer at the picture, and I saw it was the old tower. So off we went.

Clue 3: Flying frisbees in the air do battle in flight

By the old green building that is on site

God won't be found with his shining light

But if you look hard, your may find a caramel delight!!

This took me to the Girl Scout building at the park. Clue 4: Listen to the fountain of old

Smell the flowers of fragrance so bold

Romeo and Juliet may love to meet

At this place we love to eat

Of course, Shakespeare's Garden on campus!

Final letter: Your treasure has been with your all this day


It's not a little box or gift of amaze


It's the fact that Maverick and I love you in every way


So look in Maverick's coat to have a Happy Mother's Day!!

In his pocket I found a beautiful white pearl ring. I had been looking at them for awhile and was very surprised! Thanks for an awesome day!

Yesterday we ventured to Orange City to check out the tulips since we won't be there next week. We'll be in Vegas! We had a fun day and Maverick was tuckered out.

Playing on the merry-go-round!

Snoozing on the way home.
