Happy Easter - "The Amazing Basket Race" 4/4/10

Every year we try to "hide" the kids' Easter baskets. One year we had a trail of plastic, filled, eggs and one year we had a trail of jelly beans leading to his basket. This year we decided to make him follow clues to find it. Daddy Marc had the idea of calling it "The Amazing Basket Race" (after "The Amazing Race") since Marc likes the show so much. His first egg was sitting in the bathroom when he woke up. Here is the race he had to go on:

Clue #1:
"You've hunted for eggs, now hunt for clues. Your basket is 7 clues away, but only if you can solve the riddles. Your first clue is easy....look in the box that REFRIGERATES your food.Clue #2:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 LOOK IT UP, it's true (you've got a Bible).
Clue #3:
You're out of SCHOOL for a week. But to get your next clue, you'll have to let the cat out of the BAG.
Clue #4:
we'd like To eat At this location But sometimes there's Lots of stuff covering Every part of it; We also do crafts here sometimes.If you find this spot, look underneath it (you like to hide there anyway).
Clue #5:
"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' " Mark 16:6-7 You'll need your Dad's help to look this one up (he has a Bible too, ya know).

Samantha wanted to help Marc find his next clue. :)
