The Easter bunny came ahead of schedule this year. Saturday morning a letter was found on our kitchen table. According to the letter, the Easter bunny was early because he was trying to stay ahead of a fox who wanted to eat him. Since he was running for his life when he came, our kids' Easter goodies were left in a ditch up in the field. Clues that led to the 'treasure' were left in 5 different places on the farm.

| Reading the note left by the Easter Bunny |
 |
| The first clue said to go the the 'Mule' |
 |
| Clue 2: The Lagoon |
 |
| Clue 3: The cow known as 'Grouchy" |
 |
| Clue 4: The place where we found some buried treasure (some scrap metal) 2 years ago |
 |
| Clue 5: The ditchbank where asparagus can be found. |
 |
| G. was getting a little frustrated we hadn't found anything yet. |
 |
| When they finally spotted something I was asked: "why is there a bike and an old dresser in the ditch?" |
 |
| After working out the clues all by themselves, they finally found the 'treasure'! |
 |
| The Easter bunny found out from Santa Claus what sizes the kids needed. |
At a time when families are being pulled apart by the diminishing morality of our society, holidays are an opportunity for families to grow closer with fun activities. This little Easter treasure hunt was very simple and inexpensive, yet the kids all loved it. Even now, almost a week after it occurred, they are still talking about it. Simple and creative activities create the best memories.
