Treasure Hunting

Josh's birthday Part 2: We started Geocaching again...referred to as "Treasure Hunting" in our house.  Friends of ours in Colorado told us about it and we had no idea how big it is!  People all over the country hide little treasures and mark them with a GPS location.  When you get to the location you have to search for a cache (which can be a box, canister, whatever) and it has treasures inside of it.  They always have a list in them to log your name and date but sometimes they have other fun little trinket things that you can take and leave something of yours in it's place.  The girls love it!  We have so much fun treasure hunting!
This was the first one we found this day, it was hidden in a guard rail.

Ella is holding it in her hand, this one was a little rubber canister that had a list inside.  When you find them, you add your name to the list and put it back for others to find.

This was the last one we found hidden under a pile of rocks and has been the best one so far!  It was full of goodies, the name list, toy trinkets, army men, etc.  There was a little toy truck inside that has traveled from Canada.  We took it and will place it in the next one we find to keep it moving along it's way.
