Family Home Evening

Wally gave us an excellent Family Home Evening today. He led us on a search for a Geocache! If you aren't sure what it is, let me give you a brief overview. A Geocache is like a high tech treasure hunt. People all over the world have placed items in a container and hid the container somewhere. Here's a website with more info:

Geocaching

We went to a park and found two of them. We took a few items from each one and left some items of our own. We got a toy car, army man, toy chain link, toy puppy, and a mini flashlight. We put Pikachu (we have tons of those!), some pokemon cards (again...lots of those!), a pokemon coin (surprise! lots of those, too!), and toy dinosaurs (did you know we had some of those?!). Inside the containers, there's also a notebook where you write the date, your name, what you took, what you put in and anything else you want to write. We saw an entry written by someone from California! One of the Geocaches started in 2006! On that website you can keep track of the geocaches that you've been to. We're hoping that whenever we go somewhere, we'll look up to see if there are any near us and hunt them. I'd never heard of this until Wally mentioned it. He was so excited to try it out and I'm so glad we did.
