Geocaching

We made it out geocaching today, the sun came out and moved the clouds away for a bit. It was Katie's first experience. She's looking for "treasures" all over the house now. If you don't know, Geocaching is a free activity, people hide caches of goodies all over the world and mark the longitude and latitude of the location. You can log into a web site (for free) and locate the info on caches and go find them. It gets us out and about in different places that we normally may not go and did I mention the great price of free! It is one of the boys' favorite activites to do. We couldn't find our GPS, it's somewhere, but Mark's work phone worked in a pinch. The boys like to be the holder of the GPS to tell which direction to go and walk in. Both treasures were hidden in old tree trunks and contained small prizes which made their day.

The one treasure was up at the top of a very steep hill. The kids thought they were in the Olympics trying to scale it. And then coming back down Alex had no fear and ran down it. Sammy was much more hesitant and Katie we had to hold her back to keep her from rolling down.

I have to remember the camera, it's been so busy lately I keep forgetting it!
