Geocaching...

We went geocaching or as the girls prefer "treasure hunting" with Uncle Chris and Aunt Pam today. And it truly is like treasure hunting for the girls as the items in each geocache are real treasures to kids.
The idea behind it being once you have found your cache, you get to choose an item to take with you, and leave an item in it's place.

The fun is definitely in the hunt and the traipsing through forests and brush --ok I'm making it sound a bit more heroic than it was, but it was fun to have a purpose for a hike with their beloved Aunt and Uncle. We rounded out the experience by enjoying hot chocolate and marshmallows and ordering pizza.



















After the girls were tucked away in bed, we played a new to us game, Thurin and Taxis - a 2 to 4 player, easy to learn game involving a the creation of European postal routes. It was enjoyable in it's level of low competition, yet strategic turn taking. Recommended for age 10 to adult, but with some direction, I'm sure 8 year old could master.
