Geocaching-crazy style

Haven't had time to Craft but I have been able to Cache and we are getting the hang of it. we have Hit milestones 10 and 15 over the last 2 days. So pics of out caches is what you get plus a story.

The other night we went out caching and went to this easy one, but there were Muggles(people who dont cache) and lots of them. and we are advists to be careful around them cause they cause not be nice about it or join but we like to just keep it low key. So we decided to move on so we tried 3 others that night to no avail. 1/5 it was a bad night. So the last on we were doing the kids were looking and this lady walks up and asked what we were doing. I said just looking around. when muggles do show up we act like we are home schooling. but what she said next I was seeing RED. Oh I thought you were some burmese teenagers messing with it. wow rude much. I said no just looking at the different pipes. and she left pictures from the 1 find that night which was the 1st one so it turned out to be a bad night, and Just found no picture of that one. grr.

So last night after my Grandmas 81st Birthday Dinner, I told the kids we were stopping to check the one that had too many people, yeah only 2 people and they were leaving. so we starting looking, someone would walk by and I would ask the boys' questions hehe. Then this man jumps out of a van and yells "Geocachers" I nodded my head and he says awesome. This one was aruond the corner from my hotel but I only have 1% on my phone. So we start comparing where it could be. And The Big One looks up and says wow there is a fire starting in the ballpark. We look up and there is Black smoke just moving. It was like aI could see the internal wheels going on in his brain. I want to stay and look, I want to go check out the fire. The fire won. He says I am going to go check that out and then Ill be right back. I said Ok. Then The Big One took off to go check it out.(it wasnt the ballfield it was just on the other side, 3 houses and a poor pup didnt make it out why beause of fireworks). So we kept looking and found it. Woohoo Number 10.



WOOHOO number 10

So then we wait to see if this guy comes back and when we doesn't The Big One wants to go see the fire so we start to drive over there and who do we see. Yep our friend he got sidetracked lol Im surprised lol. He told us that taking our pic in front of Honest Abe was a challenge. Just take a pic with your favortie things and post it. So he took Ours and we took his. 

Me with Vera Bradley and kids, the Big One with a book and The Small One said Me and God. Aww



So then I was able to pick his brain. awesome. I felt better about Geocaching since we were having such not good time finding them lol. then we took each others picks for fun and he did a magic trick(he is a comedian,magician, and something else) His card is him wearing many hats. and away we went.

He is kinda cute lol.

So we went to check the fire that was still going and couldn't get close enough. I said there is one more cache this way. We get there the kids go run after a bunny and I walked up and found it and was done when they got back lol
I found it hahaha

Ok Ill take your guys pic too

awesome tree

It was a great geocaching night. I will put Yesterday caching in another post.

Geocaching

After this week, I will make 1 post of that weeks Caches but it might be a big one so maybe 2 like Sundays and Thursdays or something. The Big One has his last dance Class before Production so after we set off. The first one was a no go. We looked, some got hurt(The Small One), We had Muggles ask what we were doing(should have left then). But we didnt we trekked on and still didnt find will go back another day. I want to see the container all the people who have found say its awesome. But there was a lot of wood and we could not get close to the spot. So we left.
Poor thing that first one we didnt find was bad terrain


This one made the Small One very happy because it was his first find. I said it has to be in that tree he circles. I see it, I see it. lol so cute. But at same time I got a call so I dont think I got pictures but will check.

I said to the Boys' this one isn't that far lets walk across the parking lot. Being the teenager and being annoyed(just saying that I know he really is like this). he yells out Hello to every person who walk by or waves if they are driving. ACOSS THE WHOLE PARKING LOT. what a dork. so we get over to the area and The Small One goes under this area that looks big enough for this container, nothing. So The Big One and I go around and sure enough there it is. I told The Small One to hurry up. Then made the mistake of telling The Big One that its right there but I was leaving it for The Small One and he took it. Brat. This was a nice big box with lots of stuff to pick from with a travel bug. The kids asked what it was so I told them. The Big One grabs that. The Small One grabs a ball. We Sign the log and trek back to the car. Oh and this one is a Milestone its number 5 in 3 days well six but yeah. GO US.

We grabbed dinner(its wedsneday with dance, 99% of the time we grab on Weds.) and I said theres a cache across the street. ok but hurry we are hungry. I said 5 minutes. agreed. See He does like it. So we head across and I park but it didnt look right I said no its over there a little more. So we drive over to what. Yep walk back to were I had parked in the first place lol. I walk right up to this lamppost. we are looking but Not seeing anything. I start to walk away and the numbers are getting higher. I said he has to be here theses are the lowest numbers. The Big One is at the Lamppost. and just pulls part of the cover off and there is the cache. Seriously Child it was like he was made for this game lol.

The Big One looked at the Trackable Bug.

The Small One with his stick and Cache


Hum he is just weird

The Big One putting it back. He found it. I was in front of him and he walked past the tree and says "cool a hollow tree, then mom" I turn around and he is holding it lol. Brat.

I am glad to have found this. We do family time at night by reading but this gets us out of the hour and to see some places even close to us we havent seen. They want to hide one now. So going to get that stuff together so we can hid one. I am happy so Happy that even The Big One is having fun. Trying to find something that a teenager wants to do is hard lol.

Geocaching

Do you Geocache? We did for the first time today and it was AWESOME. First we tried a park by our house. We looked for about an hour and nothing. So then we went up to the Hospital to see my mom (told ya in comments weekend was crazy). and our the way back I said lets try one more. The one we picked said it was "easy". so we drove to it. drove around. drove and parked on the spot and got out. feeling like fools lol.( I can only imagine what the people inside the gas station always think). we walked around. The Big One puts his hand out and I thought he wanted the phone and he said no look under the Air Pump. So I did and guess what IT WAS THERE. lol It was so cool. So we took out the log Book and signed it. We were the 4th person today to find that one. I want to go back and find the one at the park its annoying me. lol

My mom is in the hopsital for Blood Clots in here leg. Today was her 3rd time since Wedsneday to go in and they finally kept her to do something about it. So if you Pray please do. Also Please pray for the lady who Passed out in front of me at church today. The nurses who are members who were helping her were saying she looked like she had a Stroke. So this weekend had lots of ups and Downs.

The Small One "finding" it

Me Signing the Log Book
