Day Twelve of Vacation – 1 January 2006

Today was another nearly perfect day.

After the a.m. activities we headed out to find some more “treasure”. We are really enjoying this new past time. We discovered 2 new areas of town today and 4 more caches. Mom, you’ll be interested to know that Nolan has volunteered the use of his “lizard box” as the family “cache box” or “treasure chest”. We thought that the items we keep which the kids don’t want to play with, will go in there. Today we found a military Operation Northern Watch coin, a Euro coin and a cool wooden TX cut out that a fellow geocacher uses as their signature. I was excited that kids and I were able to find one on our OWN. Then I kept the younger 4 down below near a river while Mike took the older 5 to charge up a hill in search of a difficult find. They found it. Zander had been sleeping when we did this a couple of days ago. He was DAZZLED by the treasure in the little boxes that kept popping up on our hikes! I think he will expect to find boxes on all hikes from here on out. {Grin}

After we had found the four cache’s we’d hoped to find we headed for Dairy Queen….the real treasure of the day was getting out in the sunshine and spending time together. Can you believe it is 80* here on 1 Januaray????

The girls are packing, we will play Night Sky Monopoly, and that will neatly bring the day to an end.
