Restocking the cache


On our second day my mom (Grammy) got to choose our activities. So, for the first time we all went Geo-Caching! Basically, you go onto the Geo-Caching website to find coordinates for various "caches" around your area. With Joe's GPS we followed the coordinates to a location (all of ours were in the woods)- and once there you looked for the hidden cache (all of ours were in ammo boxes). In the box were various little gifts left from the last person who found it. You take what is in the box and then you leave little gifts (like candles, play dough, braclets, etc...) for the next person. On this day we found 3 caches (and I should add that I was the first one to find all 3 of them- apparently I'm a pro)!:) It's sort of like a treasure hunt. It was a beautiful day to be in the woods and even Lily enjoyed the hikes (as long as we didn't forget her milk or a snack)! In addition to Geo-Caching mom made us a homemade German/Polish meal of stuffed cabbage roles (they were- interesting, but not bad)! She followed it up with some delicious spice cupcakes (decorated for the holidays). We ended the day with a movie rental. Thank goodness we got plenty of exercise to burn off all the cupcakes! Good day Grammy!
