Treasure Hunt!

Nicholas, Maggie and Francis have been all about pirates lately, so the last time we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa, we decided it would be fun to have a treasure hunt. There is a beach a short boat ride from them that is pretty quiet during the week so we shuttled supplies out there for a campfire and cookout earlier in the day and then around dinner time we all headed over. We had the beach to ourselves and the kids had a great time swimming, skipping rocks, following the treasure map, digging up the treasure chest, and cooking hot dogs and s'mores over the fire.
