Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers is the first clue in the $5,000 treasure hunt.

Mary and Susannah are out trying to find clues as I type this. (10.35 p.m.)  Adam is diverted
from studying trying to analyze the clue to death instead.

There was a Peter Piper Pizza place in Orem, but it is now closed according to Adam.

Wonder what the second clue is:

Mary has signed up for e-mails and Susan liked the page on Facebook


Welcome

HIDDEN SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE PROVO-OREM CITY BOUNDARIES IS A $5,000 CASH PRIZE. TO GET IT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIGURE OUT THE CLUES!

It won’t be easy – I promise you that…but if you find it, it will definately be worth it! Besides, searching for treasure is something everybody loves! Great for family bonding, date night, guys night out or just as a way to escape by yourself.
Confused about how the Treasure Hunt will work? Watch this video!

I can't even figure out how to add them as friends on Facebook and I don't do Twitter.

Jacob got accepted to Michigan State University

MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine on track to admit first students by June

Jacob got an e-mail saying he was accepted to Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine
the day after he sent a non-refundable $1500 deposit to hold his place at LECOM in Florida.
Jacob hasn't interviewed in Michigan state and was accepted on the basis of his
secondary application.  The secondary application was worse than you can imagine and
I am guessing a limited number of applicants completed it.
The application wanted you to go back to 9th grade/14 years old and include
everything you have done categorized in Awards and Recognition,
Community Service, Work, etc.

I found the forms for the secondary application. 1.Paid work experiences.
They had a form Position/Organization, Beginning Date, ending Date, Combined Total Hours, Duties Responsibilities, separated into High School Years, and college years to present.
2.  Volunteer Experience- Same form, 3. Extracurricular Activities, same form.
4.  Academic Activities/awards was maybe supposed to be in paragraph form. . ..
At any rate, first you had to find the information and then type it into the format they wanted.
They said they would not accept it if it was not in the specified format.
Who knows, maybe Jacob's application was the only one close to what they wanted.

Jacob's first choice for medical school is Touro University Nevada  and now he has an interview there.


   Touro University - Nevada College ofOsteopathic Medicine School

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) Erie Campus was fourth to notify him with Touro fifth. 

Trying to find photos of these schools is no easy feat.  Jacob got a new cell phone so hopefully he
can take pictures and I can change the blog.

Ellie can say Hi, Duck and Meow

When Ellie says "Hi" on the phone it sounds like a much older child.  I heard her
say Duck and Meow.  Ellie is growing taller.  I think she is much taller than she was
the last time I saw her, which Jacob says was only a week ago.  Nathan says Ellie
is lots taller than the last time he saw her.   So I say Ellie is growing taller while you watch,
however she and Anthony appear to be about the same height.

Noah laughs out loud when he sees Anthony.  I can't figure why he laughs or what Anthony does
to get the laugh.  It is a big belly laugh.

Anthony is like Adam and tries to get into the inside of the toys.  I have a Hippo toy
that is evidently broken, and Anthony flips it over and tries to figure out how to make
it work.
