We had a super weekend! The family, came out and since the weather was so nice, we decided to do some hiking and combine it with a little Geocaching. What is Geocaching, you ask? Well, Geocaching is like treasure hunting, with the use of GPS devices. First you have to go to the
Geocaching website.The GPS co-ordinates and clues are online at this website. If your kids or husbands
like their tech devices, they will love this aspect of the game. From there just follow the instructions, and get outside and have some fun! Containers are hidden, not buried...and they are all over the world! Yes, there are probably several Geocaches in your neck of the woods! Once you locate the hidden container, you can take out some of the treasure, and then replace it with some loot that you have brought from home, so that the next Geocachers will have some goodies to find. This activity gets everyone and especially the kids... excited to get out and get some fresh air and exercise. This trip was the first time that the grand kids, and some of our own adult kids had never been, but it was a big hit!
