The Hunt!

My family got together and decided to get my dad something big for Father's Day, but we didn't want him to have only one present to open, so we sent him on a HUNT!!! He was excited - can't you tell?!!







He very quickly figured out the first clue, and he was on to the second one.

Clue #3: How do you slice a cantelope into 11 equal pieces?

Answer: "You cut it in half, and you cut each half in halves so you have quarters. You cut each quarter into thirds, and you eat a slice!" So he went straight to the outside fridge where the cantelopes are!

That clue sent him to the mailbox, so we all took the trip with him.

At the mailbox, he had to solve for x. (Thank you, Laura, for making a math problem that was challenging for Dad, and for making the x=88).

Why 88, you ask? Because the piano has 88 keys, of course! He figured out that connection without any problem!!

He found the clue hidden in the piano...

...but he needed Taylor's help to solve it. (Taylor really did figure out the answer before my dad did!)

With each clue, he received a letter. At first he thought they were letters in our alphabet, but he soon realized that these were Russian letters he was dealing with!

He brought out the Russian dictionary, (yes, he has one!), to try to help him end the hunt. In the mean time, some of the others were involved in other entertaining events.

Finally, he figured out that the letters spelled "grill," and he was very excited. We're letting him choose his own, so we didn't have it to show him. We had a great time on the hunt!!!
