I first heard about geocaching a couple of years ago by Louise. I have been wanting to try it because I knew that the kids would really enjoy it. When I mentioned the idea to my Dad he graciously sent us a new GPS and since it arrived this week, we decided to give it a try. Last night we went out as a family and went searching for treasure. It was so much fun and we loved getting outside together and having such a fun adventure. We looked at doing a few more last night but it was getting late and we needed to get home for dinner so we decided to wait until the next day.
This morning I woke up and thought that my neighbor Courtenay might really enjoy it. We couldn't believe it but when I phoned to ask her if she wanted to join us, she had been planning on going out with her kids already. Last night was going to be their first geocache but the mosquitos thwarted their plans. Neither of us had discussed wanting to geocache before but the timing couldn't have been more perfect. We found two and then my kids needed to come home for lunch. They carried on and completed the one that we had done the night before.
We are really looking forward to making this a regular summer activity!!
Wow, what fun! Sounds likes the family is hooked on geocaching.

ReplyDeletefantastic! I have the app on my phone, I really need to be more proactive to do that with my boys.
