Apple Jacks Family Tree
My youngest son often plays with his breakfast cereal and this time it was Apple Jacks. Knowing my interest in genealogy, he created a family tree out of the cereal shapes. I just had to take a picture:
Well, that is only part of the story.
I had a birthday last week and his gift to me was a treasure hunt to find my present. Somewhere in the backyard he had dug a hole and buried my present then he created a map to the treasure. Notice how crumpled and “old” the map looks.
When I dug it up, it was my very own Apple Jacks Family Tree.
Thanks, son. I love it!

Nice tree! That could make a great logo actually. And love the map too! He’s a creative little guy.

I love family trees. I especially love trees made of Apple Jacks! Thanks for sharing. Since you have such a following, I thought you might appreciate knowing about the 2009 California Family History Expo in Redding, Calif., Oct. 16 & 17.
