Geo-Caching Cont'd

Wow, went to look for 4 caches today. Foudn 3! not bad!

The kids had a blast, My wife enjoys it, and it gets us all outdoors and moving. This is a great family acitivty. You have to be aware of the elements and things Nature can throw at you.

1st one we found was located at an elementary school it was Mini-Cache, literally. Nothing to trade at this one just initial the paper and replace as foudn. This one was decorated rather cleverly, it was a film canister(35mm) with camo cover and it was suspended in a tree.

2nd one was just off the road and we took a geo-coin placed there by other cachers, we plan on moving it to a new home of perhaps adding to a cache we intend to start.

3rd one was located at an old civil war battle field. not too difficult to find and there was some company there, some very nice neighbor dogs.

4 year olds and a treasure hunt

Well, we went and bought a Garmin Handheld GPS unit to aid us in our geocaching adventures. We printed out several locations for us try our treasure hunting skills.

Our first location turned up dry, maybr it was too old? or has been disturbed? Our second location turned up dry as well although these woods werent as thick and the kids enjoyed the romp throught he woods.

Our last location decribed as "kid friendly" was just that! Located at Starcadia (Minigolg, Go-carts, and an arcade) about ten ffet into the woods and bingo. The kids were pretty stoked. Nathan took forever to decide on what to take and exchange for his "glow in the dark" dino.

We will be doing this more, I look forward to it now. hell i want to start planning some trips around it.

GeoCaching

Enjoy hiking? Getting fresh air with the family?... Why not make it a treasure hunt at the same time?

Geocaching has become very popular!

Im going to give it a shot without a handheld GPS. We'll see how it goes!

Price gouging?

damn! gasoline went up big time! I got gas last night because we heard that it was gonna go up to new records,.. luckily we got it at $3.95/gal. After we ate dinner on the ride home it was up to $5.00/gal. This should be against the law,.. I mean soon it will be minimum wage. I remember when I was a teenager we would drive just to do something! Back then it was like $1.25/gal.

Am I Overprotective?

Ok, heres the deal,.. I have 4 year old twins,.. Normally when they play in the yard its in the fenced in back yard.

Now that they have started waiting on the bus(in my front yard) the neighbor's 5 yr old comes over sometimes and waits with them. Not a big deal right?...

Bus was running late this morning, so they start foot races to kill some time, and I know kids like to test adults to find their boundaries. The neighbors boy was all up in the road. My kids were pushing their limits they know how we feel about being in the road. Granted they were only like a foot in the road. Then the neighbors kid wanted them to go across the road, I put my foot down and felt like a restrictive parent.

Im not wrong am I?.... I dont think I am. And since I feel like I make good descisions why ask you?...LMAO.
