Today Mitchell took us all geochaching. For those who don't already know, geochaching is like a high tech scavenger hunt. There is a website that allows you to search for caches and it gives you the GPS coordinates. If you have a GPS device you can input the coordinates and search for the cache. Our GPS lead us to a park where we had to get out of the car and just search for the cache. In this case it was a prescription pill bottle covered with camouflage duct tape. Inside the bottle there was a slip of paper with the names of the people who had found the cache and the date they found it. We added our name and the date! It was a super fun activity! We were excited that Mitchell's job is flexible enough to allow him to take off in the middle of the day! We only wished he didn't have to go back for class! I think we will be geochaching again!
Summer was so happy to have found the location!! Or probably just happy to be out of the car!
Lynn and Mitchell examining the coordinates one last time.

Searching.
Is the GPS helping, Lynn?
We found it!
A weird picture of all of us but we found the cache!
That was the spot.
