24 Friday, August 27, 1897 Broadmoor Island Preparations for the first family picnic and treasure hunt were in full swing by Friday afternoon. In a surprising announcement, Uncle Jonas had suggested the family develop a new tradition that could become an annual event. Though the family had been surprised by his uncharacteristic interest in family and fun, they all contributed ideas and had finally agreed upon the picnic and treasure hunt as a tradition that all of the family members could enjoy.
