Our Mom School adventures have the boys learning about pirates, ships, and treasure. (We'll leave walking the plank to another time!) Between handwriting lessons, reading books, coloring projects, and even listening to pirate music (leave it to the library to have such a CD!), this has been a fun theme to explore.
The highlight of the week included today's Treasure Hunt at Fox Run Park. This morning, we found a map (Pirate Scott has some fine cartography skills) to some buried treasure at this big regional park space behind our house. Jami, Luke & Reid followed their detailed pirate's map along the trail twisting through the pine forest for about 1/2 mile. Much to the boys' surprise, the treasure waiting there for us was Dad ... with pizza ... and presents (some new baseball gear for the boys.) Despite some chilly temps, we enjoyed our lunch and chuckled about our treasure hunt.
Look what the pirates left us! A treasure map!
We followed the map along the forest trail ...
wondering, searching, looking for the treasure!
The treasure was quite the surprise for the boys...
Dad with lunch and some special goodies!
Pirate pizza-lovers!
