Geo-Caching & A Photo Shoot

For our anniversary and Valentine's Day, I got mike a GPS unit that is used for geo-caching. It was used, but he was very happy with it!
Finially today was nice and we had some extra time, so we took the kids geo-caching to a cache spot right near our house.  Mike had fun explaining the whole thing to the kids... and they actually all enjoyed it!

It was nice to get out together, and, of course, we brought Tink along!
After you find the cache, you enter your info into the log book, take something someone else placed in the box and put something of your own in it.  We put in a big pink plastic jack, from a set of jacks (you know, the old school jacks and ball game!?!?)  Then you put the box back and when you get home, you put a note on it online. 
(Madi was playing with one of the items someone left behind.  Slinkies are fun!)
This is just a funny one.  We were trying to point out one of Madi's little neighborhood friends and she was like, "where, where, Where"?  And we kept saying over there, right there, and she was completely oblivious, so I had to turn her head... which happened to be the same direction as the one way sign.  And I happened to snap a one-handed picture! :o)

After we found the geo-cache, we did a little photoshoot for www.iheartfaces.com's contest this week called "Jump For Joy".  Madi was trying to jump high for me so i could snap a cool pic... but the only way she could get high was with a silly look on her face... so Mike picked her up and threw her!  Here is some of the funny shots from it!

:o)  That was fun... and well worth skipping my MK meeting tonight.  We needed some family fun! :o)

  1. The Passport thing that posted to my FB wall while I was on vacation is a virtual only version of geocaching. The application runs on my phone and is called Gowalla. I'm totally having fun with it. Hope you all have many more fun geocaching outings!
