Day 161 – Scavenger Hunt

For today’s intention I prepared a scavenger hunt for Vinny. After everyone was awake and we all had our coffee I presented Vinny with the first piece of the puzzle. I had 11 clues prepared, each one with a rhyme I had made up, printed and attached to a puzzle piece. Some clues took him to just another clue…others took him to a clue and a surprise gift. As soon as I presented him with the first clue – as he was reading – he just started laughing and looked up to me and said “This is so cool, you are so creative.” The clues took him all around the house inside, in and out of many different rooms up and downstairs and even outside. When it came to the last one, he said “No, I don’t want it to end.” We all just laughed. As he went to collect his final gift, he was given it by Elijah dancing around and joking with him.

The main gift was a picture frame that had the three kids each of whom held a sign. In age order they each held a sign with a single word on it that spelled out: Best Dad Ever. It was extra special to Vinny since the older two are not physically here for this Father’s Day. Anyhow, after Vinny’s Father’s Day breakfast feast we all spent the day together as a family. Vinny later mentioned to me that the scavenger hunt was one of the the nicest things anyone has ever surprised him with and that he really appreciated it and had a truly wonderful day. And that to me just made this day perfect! #HGAL
