Hot and Cold: A Backyard Mystery

Everybody had a green day in school yesterday, so we all went to the ice cream parlor to celebrate (Nina had a chocolate cone, Pablo and Emilio had chocolate chip, Grandmother had vanilla, and I had a Oreo mix with frozen yogurt). Once we got home, I challenged my young Sherlocks to solve a backyard mystery. As I was filming their investigation, it occurred to me that there using "hot and cold" as clues on a scorching Oklahoma afternoon might seem counterinstinctual to some young detectives. Maybe this explains why when I told Pablo and Nina they were getting near the hot spot, they tended to run away as fast as they could.

La abuela se dio cuenta enseguida que era el arbol el que faltaba. Felicitaciones en resolver el misterio, Emilio.
