This is something happy, I promise!!

It's time for "Eli's Birthday--Part 2"

I know, you've all been waiting so patiently. Well, here you go. More pictures from Eli's birthday. Part 2 is a treasure hunt. My dad, who lives in PA, sent Eli a treasure map and a big treasure to find. It was soooo cool. He was accompanied by his best buddy Tanner. With swords in hand, together, they successfully followed the map (with the guidance of someone who can read) and uncovered the slightly buried treasure. Here are some pics for you to enjoy!

The expedition began in the bathroom of course!

The map then led them to a more dangerous area in the Mountain Oaks region. The men had to carefully navigate around deer and Paco poop. It got a bit raw and dicey, but they managed to make it to the pond.

Upon throwing a magical rock in the pond (don't tell my father-in-law, he doesn't like rocks in the pond), a secret door opened to reveal the next leg of their journey.

They were led down into the deep, dark garage, where they found the treasure at last!

It took many men and little girls to fully uncover the treasure chest. Who knew pirates had access to UPS and their ability to package things very thoroughly.

At last the treasure chest was opened. Fortunately for Eli, it seems these pirates had a thing for dinosaurs. They filled their chest full of dinosaur paraphernalia.
