after Christmas gift. . .

Sometimes an unwrapped gift is the very best kind--not always, but sometimes it is .
So, we made one of those gifts happen with our grandchildren, for Christmas but after Christmas-
We kidnapped them, blind folded-and with bicycles.

We planned a treasure hunt of sorts with a map (John's part) and nobody tired out or complained. . .of course we passed out sweets along the way (my part)-like toffee covered almonds for bird's nest sightings, yellow and red jelly beans for corresponding berries, gummy tree frogs for tree identifications. . .
Eager kids and happy grandparents, what could be better?

And I do wonder who had the most fun that day?

What an absolutely perfect sounding day! I am always so impressed to hear of the plans and outings of the Newton clan. :)
