Our new hobby

The following post consists of pictures and Michael and Makayla's weekly writing assignments. Some people "couldn't' think" when they did theirs ;).

Geocaching

Geocaching is where you find boxes and put something in and then take something out.

They are all over the world. You can find them on every continent. 

The best thing I ever found was a dollar bill.

Geocaching is a good hobby because it is exercise. Also, you are exploring outside.

-Makayla King, age 8

The tiniest one we've found!

These are the best size because they are bound to hold a few treasures.

Equipped with new items to trade in the next box!

Pretty shrubs

  The fun of geocaching

Where will they be?

Up or down?

High or low?

Where could they be?

Near or far?

O where, o where?

I'll tell you a clue.

They can be anywhere,

And are everywhere.

Sometimes they are tiny,

Sometimes they are big.

Some are the size of a dime,

stacked ten high.

Some are as big as

A medium toolbox.

What is in them?

Some have stamps.

Some have bouncy balls.

My favorite geocache 

Was one a group of 

Schoolchildren started.

My best treasure was

An orange whistle.

-Michael King age 6

Searching hard!

This was a hard find!

This child.........the gaudier the better :)

Love being outside!

Can you spot it? We had to come back a second time because Eldon wasn't about to give up!

Ta-da!

Try it! The app is only $30 and it's good for a year! We figure even if we only use it a few hours, it's still cheaper then mini golf or most other activities that cost :).
