Treasure hunt

Drama Boy is doing GPS/GIS for one of his 4-H projects this year, so naturally the whole family needed to go geocaching to try out the new GPS last week. There are more geocaches around our little town than I imagined; we only looked for 7 or 8 of them and found 4 on our first trip. Guess we’ll have to go again! ;)

Twirly Girl’s turn to hold the GPS:

Hmmmm. . .it should be around here somewhere (but we never did find it):

Success! Bouncy Boy found this one, and Drama Boy helps open it up to record our find in the log:

They looked all around (and under) the bridge, but this one remains to be found another day:

Although it was a rather hot day, this was a fun family activity that combined exercise with adventure. By the time we got back home, the kids were asking when we could go again!
