Family Reunion Treasure

Over the fourth of July we had our Baadsgaard Family reunion at my parents cabin.  What a joy it was to be all together! We enjoyed eating, hiking, playing games, sharing testimonies, and treasure hunting!
Uncle Aden found an old article that spoke of and Indian treasure in the area.
We followed Aden and the grandchildren as they all tried to figure out the clues that would lead them to the treasure!
The kids were especially excited to find a snake on their journey!
Once they found the right spot, they all took turns digging...

Until their shovels hit an old box that was filled with Indian treasure!
The children were thrilled!  "It's real, It's really REAL!"
They took the treasure back to the cabin, rinsed everything off, then took turns picking out their favorites.
We enjoyed every minute of our time together, and can't wait to do it again next year!

That sounds like so much fun! I can't believe how big the Baadsgaard family has grown. That's so special that all of you can spend time together with each other like that. I hope Joesph is feeling much better now!

Love the treasure hunt! I recall one of your older posts and the treasure hunt for one of your boys and how excited he was to find a treasure in the back yard. Great memories!
