Easter egg treasure hunt. Puzzle-style!


Sarah's Easter morning began with this message:



Her first reaction?  "What, no chocolate?"  To be fair, last year I did a similar search, but I put a few small chocolates in the eggs with the clues and this year I did not.  This is Sarah's "are you kidding me" face:



After we dealt with the no chocolate trauma, I convinced her to go look in her shoes.  In one of them,  she found a plastic egg containing this note:



Rearranging THOBUT to get HOT TUB, she headed out to the backyard.


Next clue:


This one was a bit tough for her, but eventually she headed down to the basement to find this clue on top of the dryer:



By this time, Sarah was into solving the puzzles and running around from place to place in the house.  Look, she's having fun!



The next clue was on top of the fridge:


This picture sent her outside to an apple tree in the front yard, which she has loved to climb since she was 4 or so.


In the tree was this clue:


As all Rhianna fans know, she is friends with the monster under her bed.  So off Sarah went to look there.  She was a little nervous that there might really be a monster...




 And there was!


And she liked him!



Next clue:


In the furnace room, another clue was found:


She had no problem with this one, and quickly figured out the next clue was in the change jar I keep on my dresser.


Holding this note up to the mirror sent her to the fireplace next.  


The remaining letters spell out C A R, so back outside to find the last clue:


Success at last!






HAPPY EASTER!
