I have to AW my dad (and niece/nephew)

[Odonata]

He's loving this grandfather thing and it's too freaking cute. He has 3 grandkids from my brother so I'm adding the 4th (and third granddaughter!) 

So my parents have a timeshare in Lake George NY and they are up there for two weeks.  My brother and the kids will be going up today.  My father has a boat docked by the house and he spent the past few days putting together a "treasure hunt" for the kids on one of the little islands in the lake.  

My niece and nephew (3 and 5) are obsessed with pirates and treasure hunts.  So my dad got a cigar box and filled it with "treasure" crap and went out into the lake this morning to "bury" the "treasure" on one of the islands.  He also bought a wooden X from ACMoore and painted it black to put on top of the treasure.  Then he went and drew up a treasure map.  When the kids get there, he's going to load them onto the boat so they can go treasure hunting.  My mom said it's all he's talked about for three days.  haha.

Here is a picture of the treasure and my niece/nephew as pirates.

That's what I was thinking.  I don't think he realizes that the grandkids are going to be asking for a treasure hunt every year now!

So my brother posted on FB earlier "These kids are super excited to find the treasure. JT wants to make sure we find it before a pirate... He's amped up!!
He said good thing grandpop is out there on his boat keeping the Pirates away."

And then I posted to my dad "You know this is going to be a yearly thing now, right grandpop? haha"

And his response was "Oh, Like I would have a problem with that!! Gotta go to Lake George with the boat to set up the Treasure Hunt. Gotta Go!!"
