Geo-caching

In January (I think, all the months run together!) my dad had to go down to Texas for some work.  He was gone for two weeks and discovered a new hobby, geo-caching.  Since returning home he has gotten J hooked.  Geo-caching involves basically a treasure hunt and the girls love it!  So we've spent the last few weekends going treasure hunting, which is what the girls call it.  J took them twice this weekend, and twice last weekend.  I like it because sometimes I go and it is a blast but it is also something J doesn't mind doing without me, so I get a chance to stay home and relax child-free.  This is a very new experience, I usually have to leave the house to be without children!

Here are a few pictures we took last week:



One of Sophie's treasures- a green dino (she loves dinosaurs!)

J and Sophie trudging through the woods.  Soph is a trooper and loves to collect sticks and rocks as we walk.

The girls, we trudge through the mud and everything.  Like my hat?  The girls wouldn't wear it.

(This is a Sophie heavy post, didn't realize it.  Lily loves to treasure hunt too.  Her favorite is to ride on someone's shoulders and she provides valuable entertainment- singing)
