FHE all day long!

Since Monday was MLK jr. Day, Richard and Kami both got the day off! YEA!! And since it was such a beautiful day in Del Rio, we decided to try GeoCaching with our new GPS! (Thanks, Mom Hunt!!) If any of you haven't heard of geocaching, it's like a treasure hunt with your GPS and map coordinates, it's super fun and challenging! Anyhow, we picked three geocaches from the website http://www.geocaching.com/ and away we went! No luck with our first two, actually the second one ended up being in a swamp and we couldn't actually get to it, but third time's a charm, all we had to do was trespass on to someone's property (great example for our kids!) But we found the treasure box and left a toy for the next family, and headed to lunch!! It was so much fun and I recommend it to everyone, at least to try once! The kids were definitely into finding treasures!

I walked into a swamp without realizing it... My All-Stars will never be the same!
Kami and Jeff walked right in after me! Dad was able to save them faster!!

There it is! Our first official find! We put Dopey in the jar, signed our names and went on our way!

And of course, Carter joined the fun too!

FUN! Jarom has done it, but we haven't gone together. We just may have to go one Saturday.

What fun!! Love the pictures. Can you send any copies so I can frame them? Our printer does not do photos. What beautiful children. It amazes me how much they look like their Grandma Oni.

That sounds like so much fun. We need a GPS so we can do that too.
