Once in a while I post seasonal activities here but once all the activities are done, the holiday has passed and no one wants to read about activities that they have to wait a year to do. Fortunately, this year, we celebrated St. Patrick&#8217;s Day early because we are visiting relatives this weekend. We started with a treasure hunt complete with mind boggling clues that will eventually lead to a great surprise. It&#8217;s like a page from The Da Vinci Code except without all the controversy and the Holy Grail is a plastic pot filled with chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>I made 10 clues and each clue led to the next clue and finally to the treasure. The clues rhyme and I left out the last word.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/2012\/03\/12\/st-patricks-day-treasure-hunt\/img_2954\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1676\" title=\"IMG_2954\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2954.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2954.jpg 704w, https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2954-620x413.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The answer to the last clue is shower because the kids love to go into the master bath shower, slide the door shut and pretend to be blasting off to a planet or the market.<\/p>\n<p>They had a hard time with the clue that said two owls are guarding the next clue&#8217;s location and only by rereading the clue and walking around the house were they able to figure it out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/2012\/03\/12\/st-patricks-day-treasure-hunt\/img_2958\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1677\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1677\" title=\"IMG_2958\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2958.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2958.jpg 704w, https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2958-620x413.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I thought ten clues might be too hard but the kids breezed through the rest of the clues and finally got to the last clue: If a rainbow is what you wish to see, Then head to the back of the yard and look up at the apple _____. I used cross stitch thread and made a rainbow on the tree which you cannot see unless you come close to it. I thought yarn would have been too thick and the kids would see the rainbow without going to the other places in the yard.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/2012\/03\/12\/st-patricks-day-treasure-hunt\/img_2962\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1678\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1678\" title=\"IMG_2962\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2962.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2962.jpg 704w, https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2962-620x413.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/2012\/03\/12\/st-patricks-day-treasure-hunt\/img_2965\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1679\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1679\" title=\"IMG_2965\" src=\"http:\/\/www.yellowpop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2965.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2965.jpg 704w, https:\/\/stuff.lucyindysky.com\/yellowpop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/IMG_2965-620x413.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sweet, chocolatey success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love holidays and I find it as a great way to get kids to remember months and seasons.
