Geocaching

Last weekend we finally got around to try something we have wanted to do for a long time. Geocaching. This was our first time so we went about it like we were Pirates searching for a treasure. I pulled out the eye patch the big pirate earring and the arrg! But the kids were just embarrassed for me and took all the stuff away and used it amongst themselves. We went to three locations and found one "cach" it was a pretty lame "cach" so we didn't take anything out we just put something cool in it. I think we will try it again. The kids were hiking all over and not complaining like usual when we just go on a hike.

Labor Day trip!

Friday night at 5:00pm we decided to drive to Florida and go to the beach. we were on our way 1/2 hr later. We just threw swimsuits in a bag and left.

Highlights: Beach, Sleeping in, Family time, Crocodiles, Free breakfast, Palm trees

Low lights: Forgetting to pack under ware for all the kids.., BAD traffic on the way there, Camera Battery dieing after first hour and charger left at home! (Meaning I missed taking pictures of the kids with Crocodile's), Not having Hotel reservations so paying WAY too much for a room.

Next time I think we will plan a little better like; bringing under ware for the kids. But, what a fantastic trip! We love living close to Paradise!
