In the past few months, Ben has developed a new hobby... geocaching. If you've never heard of it before, it is where you search using GPS for hidden "treasure" or caches that people have hidden. The GPS will get you in the right area but then you have to use your eyes to find the container... which varies in size! Some are pretty hard to find. Inside there is a log where you can sign your name. Often he takes the kids along and they set out on an adventure. Today they ended up splashing through a creek to find a cache, and everyone had fun. These pictures are from the end of April when we went looking for a couple geocaches. I wasn't expecting to find this abandoned railroad (photo op!!), or I would have brought my "real" camera. But I had my trusty phone camera at least!
Wyatt helps himself to a bandaid if he gets a scrape or scratch. So don't let the large bandages fool you... no, he did not get attacked by a dog. Those were probably just the first bandaids he found!
Lila took our picture for us. (I was wearing pants because I knew we'd be walking in the woods.)
There was one geocache we couldn't find, so Piper and I took pictures while Ben and Wyatt and Lila kept searching. (Piper likes to hold her neck sometimes... she's done it since she was a baby. I'm wondering at what age she will outgrow it.)

(We never did find it... guess we'll have to go back sometime! I'll be sure to bring my camera!)
