Happy Birthday Dane!One of the wonderful things about having a big family is how everyone wants to be part of putting on the birthday. They get such pleasure out of being party planners. For years Dane has been making treasure hunts for the other children's birthdays. This birthday was for our 15 year old, Dane. His 11 year old brother wanted to put on a treasure hunt for him. He did it in a army theme since that is what Dane enjoys.
The little brothers each painted a word on the banner that we hung.
Beginning the Treasure Hunt
Heading For the Woods
Following Clues
It was very funny because as the boys are studying the clues and trying to figure out where the prize might be, Briton found it. The boys were looking in all directions and Briton was 'talking' and gesturing, but noone was paying attention to him. *laugh*
"Righ Eah!"
Jackpot!
Don't think big boys don't enjoy treasure hunts as much as little boys!! We proceeded to the house where Dane was given gifts by all his brothers. They were sweet gifts given from little boys that 'wanted' certain things for their big brother. One little boy knew that his big brother was a good artist and so he took one of his special 'classics' colouring book and gave it as a gift. Big brother doesn't 'colour' but you wouldn't know it by his big smile! Look at the pleasure on little brother's face. It was priceless! (If you notice how red their faces are it is because they went skiing and got a little sunburned!)
Of course, one of Dane's favourite gifts was the $25 he received. Our boys don't get a lot of hard cold cash, so it was a real treat!
Moola!
Happy Birthday Dane! Our crazy, spontaneous, fun-loving, nutty, loving, son. We love you!
