After his birthday dinner, Boookie was sent to check the mail, where he discovered he was invited to a Treasure Hunt. Puzzling over the first clue:

Having found the second clue under the hedge, Boookie and Ela started really getting into this:

Too easy! Third clue:

When we used it, it smelled gross
The treasure you seek
Is behind the bins of _______
Compost! Fourth clue:

This one took awhile, particularly when Boookie decided the answer was "stew" and insisted the treasure must be inside.
The clue was eventually found. Fifth clue:
A lofty perch to say awhile
(This clue, it doesn't rhyme)
The treasure you seek
Is in Boookie's ___ _____ (2 words)
Boookie delightedly reading the final clue, taped to the roof of the tree house:
While you've been busy finding clues,

"Started!!!" he shouted and ran up the hill. Not the word that the rhyme would suggest, but it worked :-)
