Last Saturday was Scott's birthday. He wanted some GPS man toy, for hiking trails. Well, as it turns out we can use it for Geocaching, which is fancy for treasure hunting. People hide these treasure boxes all over the place and register them online and you look at where they are and use the GPS thing to get the cordinates and find it. When you find the treasure you sign in the book that you were there and take a treasure and leave a treasure. At first treasure box Rusty picked a squirt gun and Kelsea picked a car,which was pretty easy to find and the second was a bit of a challenge. We had to hike through chest high grass (not on a trail) and found the treasure in a black berry bush, then hike out in the dark because we forgot how quick it gets dark during daylight savings!!

Awesome! I am SO excited! I had heard about Geocaching awhile back, and then sort of forgot about it. We don't have a GPS thingy yet, but we'll have to remedy that soon, but this hobby is so up our alley!!! How fun! I just spent over an hour on the website that explains it! Thank you!
This is a great family activity too, I know you guys will love it!!
Make sure you bring it down Christmas. Maybe we can do some treasure hunting around here.
