One of our favorite things to do on John's birthday is make a treasure hunt and hide his presents. This year I put Johnny in charge of the treasure hunt, and he did an excellent job. He took pictures of about 10 places in our house with the digital camera and then we printed his pictures and hid them around the house. He was excited to hide each picture, and even knew how to place them so that they would lead to the next picture clue. It was fun for the kids to follow him around the house and watch him find the clues. Johnny decided to have the last clue lead to the "chokey", where we hid his presents.
It was a wonderful birthday filled with his favorite things, chocolate, family and radio controlled helicopters. I provided the first two, thanks to my ability to have children and a "Bed Bath and Beyond" coupon that I used for the chocolate fountain. But in keeping with tradition, John ordered his main present. The radio controlled helicopters have been a source of endless entertainment.
As Vera would say, "Happy Birthday, John. Thanks for being born."

What a fun idea to have a scavenger hunt. I think they are the best thing for Christmas or birthdays!
