When preparing to welcome a new arrival into the family, expecting parents will take all sorts of steps to ready themselves and their home. They’ll read all the baby books, childproof the house, buy more diapers than they can count, and paint the nursery. However, when one couple in England learned that they’d be having a little girl, the father-to-be had a pretty unique idea. Instead of the usual stuff, he set out to complete a plan that would take more than six years to finally come to fruition. But when it did, it was totally worth it.

With the help of her father, the little girl realized that the treasure was located right in her own bedroom! The whole family followed, and once they were inside the room, she made an amazing discovery. On the map, there was one big clue that told her where to look inside her room.
