We kept a couple of our friends' boys this weekend while they went on a retreat. We decided to kill some time today showing them what Geocaching is. Since it was 92 degrees outside, we pulled up just a few to search for. We wanted to look for camo boxes to make it more fun for them since micros are harder to find and not fun for kids. The boys seemed to really enjoy it and both of them found one.
Lake Front
Our first stop of the day. There were a bunch of Canadian geese walking around the field, but that didn't last long with 3 boys to chase them screaming. This one took a little buchwhacking, but Jake saw it first but couldn't get to it. Mr. Tim stepped in and tried to claim the find though!
Pond with a view
Our next stop of the day was behind a shopping center on a little peninsular of land that jutted out into a pond. It looked like the type of place where homeless people were probably living. The kids and Tim went bushwhacking and I stayed on the outer edge. When I saw it and pointed it out, Tim argued he had already seen that and that it wasn't what we were looking for. One of the kids reached under the palmetto and sure enough, it was a plastic container painted green with the goodies inside.
Hot to Go Again
This one was hidden near Krispy Kreme so we decided to find this one and then go inside and have a quick sugar fix and head out again. JT found this one after having a little direction from his father. I sat this one out in the air conditioned truck while it idled burning diesel at $4.79 / gallon!
Pushing Tin
Even with 4 additional eyes, this one eluded us again!
Where's Jack?
Joseph saw this one before we even go close. This was a nice location behind an office building with a gazebo near a big tree and pond. I commented that it looked like a nice place to have lunch, my son JT (10 next week) said it looked like a great makeout spot! He's ONLY 10 and thinking like that already?
