Ooo! Good ideas! (I'd forgotten about rebuses! Awesome!)
I LOVE the Easter egg one! Unfortunately, where are you going to get some in July? Idea for the future! (I have a feeling this is not going to be the last time we do one of these. We've done similar treasure hunts for years, just always on a MUCH smaller scale (house, yard, neighborhood))
We're limited on places to go into since it'll be a holiday and many shops are closed. But we are going to send them in a few. Once to talk to the manager, once to find something in the store, once to THINK they're finding something in the store but actually getting paged over the intercom with the clue.
SO much fun! My mom and I stayed up until 2:30-3am planning!
Our final clue is going to be the sheet music for Brahm's Lullaby (both of my sisters can read music) which will send them to the neighborhood Braum's (ice cream store) where they will be directed to select a half-gallon of their favorite flavor and head out to our grandparents to go swimming.
We've got about three dozen clues and are waiting until tomorrow morning to hide the envelopes in case we get (ANOTHER) rainstorm tonight.
