Geocaching gets you out into nature

We had another geocaching day. :)

We started out here...

Remy tried to save this guy. :( He had really been through it.

This guy was hiding in the leaf clutter.

I love the moss in Louisiana. It just hangs everywhere.

Matthew and Remy dared the slope by the water and found this huge shell!

Remy found some black moss and decided to bring it home to place on my countertop. *urgh* I really must get him a collection spot set up. The photo doesn't really show how black it is. Remy wanted to take it to the guy at the chinese food store to see if it was the same black moss they put in the soups.

We didn't find the cache at this location but we found so much to keep us occupied. :) That is the beauty of geocaching. :)

Next up was this cache.

Are these two making baby snails???

Elijah found the cache!

Elijah found a birds nest in our yard when we came home for the bathroom and snacks.

Photobucket

Yes, there is a cache hidden here, we didn't find it. :(

Photobucket

But Matthew did find this one!

And we played on the equipment while we were there.

What a great family day!
I think Louisiana is a very nice place. Would I ever get there? Well, for now I will look at your pictures and learn more about it :)

Geocaching is how I found you! :)
(When I googled). We love to geocache here in Minnesota too. And then I found that we shared soooo many other things (love of family, homeschooling, cooking, etc) - that is what kept me coming back!
Glad that you had such a beautiful day.

Fun day! I really need to try that someday. We hear a lot about it but we've never done it.

I'm still laughing over your comments! I think I want the fencing more than my kids do!

And yes, Miss Marina is a superb knitter! I may never need to buy another scarf or hat!

Peace and Laughter,
Cristina

I loved it when we used to go geocaching. We would find some really cool places that we never knew existed. I'm so glad that you guys had such a good time.
