We officially started the 2009 camping season. It started out cold, rainy and windy - really windy, and REALLY cold. One of the coldest mornings we have ever had camping. We were told it got below 40 degress. We had a couple of crabby hours Saturday morning, but the kids hung in their awesome. By late morning we were out hiking and things were turning around. It turned out to be one of the best camping weekends ever - although that may have been thanks to the box of wine the Gandy's brought :) !! We had an awesome site and a great time.
We spent a lot of time just hanging out....playing golf, baseball, frisbee, throwing rings up in trees, and riding bikes.
We tried geocaching - for those of you who are not as technically savvy as me :) - that is like a high tech treasure hunt for kids with a GPS unit. We got the first coordinates and we were off. Each of the kids took a turn holding the GPS and being the line leader. We were led to 2 places before finding the end "treasure" - which is actually a metal box with laminated animal cards in it - the kids thought it was the best ever. It really was pretty fun! Right up Collin's alley for sure.
The GPS would lead us within a 15-20 foot radius, and then you were on your own to find the treasure. This is what that looked like.....
We found the "treasure" inside a hollowed out stump.
Lunch Time.
Collin and his maps!!
Madelyn's favorite camping past-time was filling the cup with rocks, dumping it out and then filling it again. Whatever makes ya happy right??
