Welcome, Annabeth and Percy Jackson!




Our new little family members were welcomed home at the end of a scavenger hunt. Here were the clues:

1. Across the street where you like to play, look under the tallest structure and be on your way (clue was at the top of the slide)

2. Ulai and Olu live very near; the second clue is located here (at the neighbor's house)

3. the best place in the 'hood to make your hair look good (the barber shop)

4. this new joint has the name of "Bop", it's right next to the barber shop. you can get Korean food with rice, or even a hamburger, very nice! (the Korean-American restaurant down the block)

5. The corner store's got stuff to buy: milk and pop and pumpkin pie. The guy in front has your next clue; he's also got some candy for you! (the convenience store)

6. You've been all over the neighborhood--now come on back to where you first stood. (back to the house)

7. The scariest place in the house is where Zion's gift lurks--go down if you dare, but don't get hurt. (basement)

8. We're your new pets from the middle east. we're very peaceful little beasts. (on the gecko tank, next to the washer and dryer).
Zion was absolutely ecstatic! I wish I had gotten some footage of his reaction, but the whole process of discovery was very frenzied as 8 5th graders tore through the house! Annabeth and Percy Jackson are leopard geckos, named after the characters in a series of books that Zion just finished.
