Lost treasure








Jack has been infatuated with pirates and treasure hunting lately, so Matt decided to organize a treasure hunt in order to locate the "lost treasure of Sedona Circle". Matt told Jack that when we moved here a pirate gave him a treasure map but said he was unable to find the lost treasure. One of my favorite things about our new house is the fact that we don't have any neighbors on any side of us. We have empty lots to the east and west, the woods to the north, and golf course to the south, making our location perfect for a treasure hunt. On Sunday afternoon, we decided to use the map to find the "lost" treasure. When we asked Jack what he thought the treasure was he replied, "pirate stuff, money, chocolate and a diamond for mommy." After studying the map with Matt, Jack led us to all the geographic landmarks on the map and eventually to the lost treasure of chocolate coins and some money (no diamond for mommy though!).
