Geocaching

The Burdges came over after church, we had a light lunch, then packed up the kids and went Geocaching. It was our first experience Geocaching, which as I learned is "a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment." (www.geocaching.com)
There was one pretty close to our house, so we packed up the kids and went for a hike. When we got close to the coordinates Danika went searching and dug under some leaves and found the geocache, she was pretty excited to have found the treasure! She picked out a whistle from amongst the treasures and left a bracelet that she made.
It is such a great idea once you have children as it gives the family a goal for the hike, we had so much fun today and hope to do this more often! Thanks Burdges for the fun day!
