There you have it.  Our day in the desert.  Mason left out the part about us searching for and finding our first geocache, which surprises me because he really enjoyed it.  He begged to find another, and we tried with no success.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with geocaching, the website say:

“Geocaching 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.”

Don’t have a GPS?  Don’t worry.  There is a similar activity for people without a GPS called letterboxing. Letterboxing uses written clues or maps to guide the hunters to the hidden treasure.  Try it.  It’s a great excuse to get outdoors and do something fun!

Thank you so much to our sweet relatives for driving all the way over to where we were to take us on our “desert tour” (especially Greg who had just had his wisdom teeth removed).  It was a wonderful outing.  Thank you also for the t-shirts to go in our quilts and the books for the boys (I forgot to get you to sign the t-shirts!).  We’ll send you pictures of the finished quilt.
