Geocaching Fun

Our new favorite thing: Geocaching. This game or activity or sport or whatever you want to call it is like treasure hunting. There are chaches hidden and gps coordinates are placed on the internet. When you find the cache you sign the log and can take and replace an item within the cache. We did two on Saturday and went for a Sunday drive and ended finding three more. Today we found a Travel Bug which looks like a dogtag and the owner can trace where it has been since he introduced it to a cache. We found that our started in Texas, made it's way to Colorado, New York to California and back, then to North Carolina and then to Tucson. Now its in our hand after finding it near old Rittenhouse Rd until we place it in another cache soon. The kids like the hiking and searching, not to mention they like to take and replace items from the cache. Today Ashley found a Kokopelli charm for her charm bracelet. Of course you need a GPS in order to do this (we had to borrow one from a friend until we can get our own). Kramer had a ball as he can run and sniff and find (cow bones). Kim and I just like to be with eachother and our kids. There are so many out there that it is literally just a few minutes drive between caches. Tomorrow we are going to introduce my brother Anthon and his wife Dawnell and their kids to this fun activity. We already have in mind where we are going to hide our first cache. You can find all the information you need at www.geocaching.com if you are interested.

Ashley's baptism is scheduled on Feb. 9, 2008 at 8:30 AM although the time might change. We will be sending out invitations soon. If you don't get one but would like to attend just give us a call and we will get you the directions.

Happy Sunday!!
