This is how our first geocaching trip began. Cameron is doing his schoolwork and I'm playing with Ruby (my phone.) He's having a really of day. As I'm playing and checking out all the cool apps out there, I run across one for geocaching! I've always wanted to try it. I'll download it and see what the app is all about. Well, what do you know? There are a dozen or so geocaches within a couple of miles of us. A good way to fix an off day with Cam on a sun-shiny day... go outside. So, off we go for our P.E. lesson; Cameron, Ruby & me!
Our first site is a winner! One step in the mud, dodged a few thorn bushes, climbed a couple of rocks and we were there. It's a big ammo canister and filled with lots of knick-knacks. Cam chooses a little coin holder with a dove sewn on it. And he left a monster truck.
Site two was a bust. It was in the Landing by one of the signs, but we never did find anything. So, we were 50/50 our first time out and we had fun. He's ready for more. And all this outdoor fun started with playing with my phone. And homeschool improved after we were back!
