Quest...

Since completing the book The Hobbit, the kids have been asking to go on a quest. Thus, T Rex Dad devised a quest complete with maps and on a not-too-cold day we embarked on a quest to find magic rings. It all started with a call from our Good Neighbor who said she had a map left by a wizard (aka T Rex Dad) and it was meant for two young children. The kids donned their attire and bundled up. T Rex insisted on going on the quest as a wizard. Lil Sister was a bit under the weather running a fever and sporting a runny nose. However, fresh air, sunshine, and distraction can be good medicine so we took off and picked up the map from Neighbor M.

The map referred to another "hidden map". Thus, we first set off for the Hidden Map which would ultimately lead to "the place of sticks" where the rings left by the wizard were hidden. We definitely encountered some muddy bogs along the way and had to do several stops to consult the maps. It was still a bit chilly outside and afterward we came home to a warm bath, but there were plenty of smiles, laughs, and giggles, as well as a shout of glee upon finding the treasure.

The kids are already planning their next quest and I think the wizard is already conjuring another fun adventure.
