Happy Birthday, Indiana Carling

Cameron wanted an Indiana Jones theme party this year. He invited a couple friends to join him on his adventure.



The day began with Cameron opening a mysterious package.



Inside were "Grail diaries" for each of the guests; Cameron's contained a map and a clue to get them started on their quest:

If gold idols are
what you adore,
Set a course
for Ecuador.




In the spider-infested jungles of Ecuador, they discovered a gold idol and another clue:

China is where
you must begin,
If the Lost Ark
you seek to win.




In China, they found a medallion and this clue:

Off to India
you must go,
To learn the thing
you want to know.





India brought danger in the form of a giant python and other deadly snakes guarding the next clue:

Buried in Egyptian sand
You'll find a treasure close at hand.





When they dug up the Ark, they found the next clue:


Beneath the city of Rome
you'll find a clue,
In a dark catacomb
that's meant for you.



Inside the Knight's tomb was the following clue:

Searching for
the Grail Cup?
Be careful when
you pick it up.



The Grail Temple was where they found their last clue:

One final treasure
waits for you
Riches beyond measure
A dream come true.

With an extra hint from their guide, they found the secret location of the last treasure, the fort. There they found Indiana Jones coloring books and some candy.





Hungry after a day of treasure hunting, they stopped for a lunch of pizza, bread sticks and Sprite. Then Cameron opened presents.


He loved all of them. Following some python wrestling, the boys went home to rest up for their next great adventure.
