The boys and I went geocaching tonight with Melanie Goldman, her daughters Megan and Rachael, and Cara (which is a girl from school that both Meg and Kaden pal around with). Geocaching is a type of high-tech treasure hunt. You use a handheld GPS (or a cell phone with GPS capabilities) and it guides you to find hidden boxes or containers that others have placed in secret spots. Actually, you'd be surprised, there are these things ALL OVER the place...you probably drive by one of those secret locations every day!
The idea is that when you find one you sign the log that is in there. Depending on the size of the cache you may be able to take something from it and put something else in it. The one we found tonight is the little pill container Melanie is holding. All it contained was the log sheet and it was found under the little compartment on the light post that Kaleb is holding up.
It was a really fun time and is a great family activity. I plan on downloading the application to my phone so we can do it as well. I just need to find the time to give it a try.
