Our dog cousin, Cinnamon helped dig for the clue. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4116-rotated.jpg\")

Next was a bean bag toss challenge to get to the next clue that was hiding under the bucket.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nThe bean bag toss led to a game of water pong. The next clues were on the bottom of the cups and the kids got to read the clues once they got the ping pong balls in all of the cups.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nAfter conquering water pong, the kids went to grandpa’s gazebo to complete a word search challenge. It is easy to create word searches online with the words you want to be found. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4133.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The word search revealed that the next challenge was a balloon volleyball competition. All four cousins vs. Michael. Michael is a tough competitor. The kids and Michael were sweating after that game. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4137-blur.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
To give their bodies rest, the next challenge was four individually crafted math problems.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/gowatkinsgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_4147.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The answers to those problems created a six-digit code that they had to crack to open up my iPhone. Once they opened the iPhone there was a note that directed them to their final challenge. The note said “The final challenge takes place where you eat. Are you brave enough to try some Halloween treats!”<\/p>\n
We blindfolded the participants and fed them eyeballs (peeled grapes), giants’ fingers (twinkies), monster tongues (cucumber), and spider webs (cotton candy). Henry was terrified about eating the spider webs until someone tipped him off that it was just cotton candy.<\/p>\n
