On Saturday, me and the kids got our first taste of geocaching!! It is basically treasure hunting with a GPS!! My brother, Josh, and his kids came up from Austin, and brought their GPS. Caleb, Allison, Matt, Josh and I took 6 kids and braved the cold and wind to hunt down 4 caches. It was awesome! We spent 3 hours around the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano, hunting down the caches. We signed our name to the logs to show that we had found it! The kids had a great time, and SO DID I! Next step, purchase our own GPS and do this ALOT more! If you are unfamiliar with geocaching, here is the wikipedia definition...
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value.

Anyway, here are some pictures that we took! Looking forward to the next time we can go!
