Scavenger Hunt
The clues for the hunt:
It’s New Year’s Eve
And the Hunt Begins.
Start the Search
Where Shoes Have Been
Shoes Can Be Stinky
It’s Sad but True.
Dad’s Cologne Helps
The Smell and the Next Clue.
Too Much Cologne
And You’ll Smell Like Matt.
Get the Next Clue Where He
Takes Relaxing Baths.
This Drain Was All Clogged
So We Fixed it with Borax.
This Journey Continues
With Rachel’s Favorite Fruit Snacks.
Secret Life of Pets
Was Not a Great Movie.
But the Game on Dad’s iPad
Is Really Quite Groovy.
Wind is Blowing
And the Chimes are Ringing.
Another Clue is Located
Where Rachel’s been Singing.
You Found Daddy’s iPad
Where it Made Most Sense.
The Next Clue is Hiding
Where Mom Hides Presents.
This Closest is Perfect
But It’s Not the Only One.
Another Clue Awaits
In the Closet of the Sons.

Look for a New Clue
Underneath Dad’s Chair.
Chairs are So Comfy
A Great Place for a Seat.
But Behind the Couch--
Now That is Sweet!
The NES Classic
Has Been a Family Hit.
You Might Find Clue
Somewhere Near It.
Video Games Are Great
But we would rather be in the pool.
Move The Search Along
To Where Food Stays Cool.
Cold Food Is Yummy
But Some Like it Hot.
The Oven Has No Clues
The Microwave? Maybe, Maybe Not.
When Food Gets Stuck
In Your Teeth It Is Gross, Methinks.
You Should Go Get A Toothbrush,
Maybe Near the Sink?
The Search Has Ended
The New Year Is Near.
2017 Will Be Great
Because We’re Full Of Cheer!
