Book signing

We went to get our signed copies of The Dinosaurs' Night Before Christmas. Mine is personalized with a velociraptor!

Early Christmas Present

For Christmas this year we decided to give activities rather than "things." Everybody thought of different things they wanted to do as a family, like playing halo, rockband, going shooting, etc.

I actually requested a different activity from each member of the familly. From my dad I asked for a "geocaching adventure."

So this is it. We thought about waiting to do it when the whole family could be there, but the weather was just so good that I couldn't wait! So we are short a few members.

It was really fun. We found 3 different caches and had some pretty crazy adventures. The caches were mostly a let down, but we had some good times on the way!


Checking the coordinates.














This was one of the caches. A "micro" cache. How dumb. The little log paper was shoved in there so tightly that we couldn't even get it out to sign it.















One cache we were getting so close, and then my dad realized that we were on the wrong side of the river! So, rather than walk all the way back to the cars and drive around to the other side of the river, Tucker suggested we cross using these slippery, moss covered rocks.








I opted to scoot across on this log. it was pretty hilarious. You can see how hard my brother is laughing about it. They ended up following me over though. The cache wasn't really worth it, but watching Tucker catch a giant moss-covered, disease ridden fish with his bare hands was!








Good times.
