Treasure hunt

Hard to believe, but this past weekend's National Guard family picnic is probably the last one we'll ever have to attend. Jeff should be done with Guard duty long before next summer's picnic rolls around. Kind of ironic, considering our kids are now old enough to enjoy the games offered.

Though AJ didn't seem to enjoy one game very much. He'd been so excited to sift through the sand in search of coins during the treasure hunt. Until he didn't find anything.

It didn't help that his sister found a dime almost immediately. Must be beginner's luck.

AJ did eventually find a coin. After at least five minutes of digging by at least a dozen kids, there was a penny sitting fairly exposed on top of some sand I'm fairly certain AJ had dug through at least several times. Perhaps AJ gets credit for unearthing it, but I'm kind of suspecting someone walked through the sand pit and dropped a few more pennies for the unlucky few who were still searching.

  1. could you tell AJ im sorry for not posing with him. I felt bad, not bad enough to be on TV, but very bad.
