Geocaching!

2 Mondays ago, Steve, two of our friends and I went on a double date and did a little thing called "geocaching". If you've never heard of it, it is almost like a treasure hunt! People hide all kinds of items all over the place and you use a GPS to locate where the item is hidden and then the fun begins! The first one Steve picked for us to do was in a swamp behind an apartment complex. Kylene and I made it about half way and then decided we would let the guys finish looking for that one! The thought of coming face-to-face with a banana spider (or worse) was a little to frightening for me! We found 2 out of 3 that evening! Then on Saturday we decided to take the girls out to UCF and look for more...people hide them EVERYWHERE! It was so much fun. Reagan was so excited to go on her first geocaching adventure after her nap. We searched for almost 2 hours in the UCF parking garage and when we were about ready to give up I spotted it! Steve found one more that day hidden in some woods beside a pond and Reagan was able to trade out her first treasure! She traded a yo-yo for a toy car! We've decided that geocaching may be more fun for all of us when it gets a little cooler! 100 degrees is a little warm for hunting for small items hidden in large outdoor areas! Steve took us all out to eat afterwards.Steve and Reagan walking on trail at UCF.

We found it! Reagan's 2nd Geocache find!

Reagan found a little car in the box that she wanted to keep!

Sydney was so tired when we were done with the day!

I just had to add this sweet picture in!
