Geocaching

Today we had a new experience. The kids were out of school today, so we decided to do something different. We'd been hearing a lot about "geocaching", so we did a little research and then spent the day exploring and discovering hidden "treasures". It was a lot of fun!

We found our first only about a mile from our house. You'd be amazed how many geocaches are hidden all around you, no matter where you are!

When you find one, you open it out, fill out the log, and if you want, take a trinket from the cache and leave one for others to find.

It's amazing all the places you'll go looking...

and the places you'll find them.

For some you even have to solve puzzles for your next coordinates. This Lego one was fun!

It was a fun day that the whole family enjoyed. Some geocaches were really easy and some took us a while to find. We're hoping that this is something we can continue doing as a family, even on vacation. Anyone else ever given this a try?
