Geocaching

One of our favorite pastimes is Geocaching. What is Geocaching you ask? Basically it's "treasure hunting" with a GPS. Here is the official site which has a great explanation on their home page. The traditional cache is usually some sort of camouflaged container that has a log to sign saying you found it and little toys that you can take if you put something in to replace it. The caches are found in playgrounds, neighborhoods, national parks, anywhere people feel like placing them.

Anyways Kevin and I have been doing this for about five years now and we were hooked right away. It really gets you out and about and you see so many cool places that you never would have seen otherwise. We took Sarah on her first cache experience when she was about four months old. After that we took a long break from geocaching and just started it back up again a few months ago. Again we took Sarah and she had a blast! Of course she was actually old enough to enjoy it.

We had a great time geocaching together and have gone many times since with Sarah. She loves it and gets so excited when we ask her if she wants to go geocaching.
