April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1 every year. (Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day). It is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good-humoured or otherwise funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.
Iranians play jokes on each other on the 13th day of the Persian new year (Norouz), which falls on April 1 or April 2. This day, celebrated as far back as 536 BC, is called "Sizdah Bedar" and is the oldest prank-tradition in the world still alive today; this fact has led many to believe that April Fools' Day has its origins in this tradition.
The April 1 tradition in France, Romandy and French-speaking Canada includes " poisson d'avril " (literally "April's fish"), attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed.
April Fool's Day is full of fun!
(This is the birthday of our youngest child, Angelina).
Angelina picked the location (& cache container) for this hide, & placed it herself!
She is quite the little prankster! She hopes everyone enjoys her birthday hide! Remember, if you can't find it...you were "fooled" by a little girl who is turning 4!
Our 2012 caches will have a theme of "Holidays", or "months" that are just special in their own ways! All of these caches are leading up to a VERY SPECIAL hide.
