Goecaching

The kids and Luke recently got into Geocaching. Those of you who aren't familiar with Geocaching, it's basically a little treasure hunt using GPS. They can be found all over the country. We had done a couple in Georgia, but were happy to find there was a hunt not too far from the bunkers at Fort Worden Park. Grandma Thomas, Uncle James, Uncle Marc, and Jace joined us. Usually the prizes are just small insignificant things like stickers, spare change, sometimes even just a note from the last hunter. Spencer was pleased to have found a bandage because he had just fallen and needed one. Karly found a Oregon key chain which she still is hanging onto. I think we left some old Spanish money Marc had hanging around in his wallet from a trip he took.
This is a picture of the kids with Grandma Thomas on their walk back after the hunt.
