My mom started a special birthday tradition this year. For each grandchild's birthday, she writes them their very own story! She knew Matthew had been asking to hunt for emeralds in Brazil, so she wrote him a story with treasures in mind. On his birthday she gathered us all together so she could read it out loud. Please read his story here before you continue on the adventure!
After she finished reading Matthew's story, there was a knock at the door! It was a professor of rocks! He heard there might be treasure in our backyard!
He took Matthew outside
And they used binoculars and a treasure rod to scout out the area.
When they found the right spot, the treasure rod started wiggling!
So Matthew knew it was time to start digging!
He kept digging
Until his shovel hit something!
It was a container with something hidden inside...
A Treasure Chest
full of Emeralds!
Right in our own backyard
Thank you for the magic Mom and Dad. We treasure you!

What a fun story. Remind me to find my gem collection from Brazil at some point and show it to Matthew. I have a few emeralds too, I think he'd love to see that huh?
It was fun to watch his face as his story unraveled.
So magical. I love it.
That is the sweetest birthday gift. Your parents are awesome (must be where you get it from)!

How fun! Your family seems to have a very good treasure supply in your backyards...I dug up a diamond in your parents backyard almost 9 years ago, I recall.
