Our last full day was absolutely beautiful. The weather started out cool and by mid morning jackets were off and shorts were on. After the cold weather and ridiculously crazy wind we had the day before we were grateful and ready to make the most out of our last day here. We had a jam packed but relaxing day all in one. We started with a fishing trip, a picnic lunch with play time at the park followed by some more geocaching, exploring the different scenic points of the park with one final fishing trip just in case we actually caught something. After we fished we went back to the "cabinet" as Kaylie called it, barbecued dinner and finished with smores. Their is definitely a reason we enjoy going there and I am pretty sure we will go back soon. Their aren't too many places we can go and just relax. When we leave we don't feel as if we need a vacation from our vacation. Hmmm...can we go back now?!?
Using her spotting scope. She loves binoculars.
Our first geocache of the day was to a cow that was made by a guy for a VBS. One of the cows was sold and the other was set out in his yard for people to find. When we got there the guy was in his yard but I made the executive decision not to let that stop us considering he had it out for every one. This particular container was actually hard to find. It ended up being a small container that was disguised as the ringer part of the bell. Once we opened it we were able to write on it. Pretty cool.
The middle part of the bell was the geocache container. They were tricky. Like I said in my previous post, you never know where they will hide something.
I was overly excited when I saw the bell. I knew it had been used for VBS but I didn't think it was used for the VBS my church had done the previous summer. With all three kids having participated in it as well they joined in with me when I started singing some of the songs. I love memories!
This was our next one to find. The fun thing about finding these treasures is anyone that is with you might stumble over it. It just depends on your keen eye and ability to look in places you would least expect them. This one had camouflaged tape on it and was tucked under some rocks with leaves over it. We looked for awhile for this one when Christine happened to see a corner sticking out. It is crazy how many times you may walk by it before finding it. It makes the actual finding of the container that much more fun.
As you can see this one had a bunch of goodies to pick from. At times having too many options isn't always a good thing when it comes to a three year old making a decision in a timely manner.
I absolutely love this picture!
I spotted this one.
Kaylie was upset she hadn't helped us "find" another one since the Peter Pan container so we let her think she found this one for us.
