For a long time, I have wanted to take my kids geo caching.
Kind of nerdy — yes.
Right up my alley — yes.
SO we got on a geo caching website and looked up some Dana Point locations and went to town.
First stop was the community center.
The clue was, “Once upon a time, I was a tree.”

We looked all over everything that was made of wood.

Including this bench that was full of a homeless persons garb.
How classic is Tristen.
What if there was someone sleeping in there?
that would have been the fright of a lifetime.

Tristend finally spotted it (although Micah claims he found all of them first but “let others get the satisfaction of finding them”), but let Scout and Navy retrieve it.
I had never found a cache before, and in time we found out that they com in all shapes and sizes.

Inside there is a log that you sign.
We designated ourselves as “Team Heart Love”.

Then we put it back, along with a little encouraging heart, and let the next people find them.

The next stop was at the “Pilgrim”.
The clue was “Missing Corks”.

Here is Navy signing her name to the heart.

Our final stop was the lookout in Dana Point.
The clue was “The Sky Is The Limit”.
Micah was like a monkey, and checked all over the place.
He searched for quite a while, and he found it — we knew why it took a while.

The cache was miniscule!

So the verdict goes like this….
I loved it.
The kids had a great time.
Tristen thought it was as cool as I did.
Micah thought it was okay.
(I guess it wouldn’t be as much fun if you were like a magnet to the caches and there was really no challenge!)

And this baby boy is the easiest geo-caching companion in the world!
