[Argh! I can't believe I chose another puzzle type that involved drawing. Even worse, I had to draw these under a time crunch. The boys were getting really close to solving the central puzzle of the hunt without having first solved the biggest metapuzzle. We would have all been disappointed if they circumvented the most interesting part of the hunt. So I cranked these out in time to get them to finish the last meta-puzzle before finishing the main puzzle. I did get the illustrations done just in time, but I'm not really impressed with any of the artwork. And can I just say that spoons are hard to draw?]
