Deer and Doo Doo

Ashten, Anderson, and Ayden

I forgot my camera so the cell phone had to do.Today, after doing some really "fun" stuff, dentist appointment, car tabs, etc we stopped by Grammy and Papa's house. We played computer games and visited. Later when Papa went to work we tried to go geocaching. The cache was supposed to be located on the old 11th Street bridge in Tacoma. We looked everywhere but the only thing we found was a dead deer that someone had dumped and lots of dog poo. The kids were bummed but they were so excited to walk up to the draw bridge. By the time we were done with the walk it was getting dark and the GPS batteries were dead so we went home.

Geocache or Die Trying

Ayden loves to carry a map. Papa and Grammy feed AJ, cause that's all he likes to do.
"Uncle" Nick enjoys tormenting the kids, especially Ayden.

After our huge, yummy omelet breakfast, clean up, and packing of the condo we went over to the Ramada to meet up with some of the family and say goodbye. There was food so Armand and AJ went to town eating and didn't stop until we left.

Anderson didn't get a nap during the whole trip, other than a power nap or two in the car.

Uncle Terry and Ashten

Ashten only wanted Uncle "Tewwy" to help him find buried treasure.

Following the boys second breakfast, we went geocaching with Grammy and Papa and the Fabres. The kids love to find "buried treasure" they scrounged up some little toys that they could trade for "cooler" toys in the treasure. Ashten ended the day with $1.25 even though you aren't supposed to put money in them, he got $1.00 in one and a quarter in another. Ayden ended up with a fake pirate coin, which he had traded for the dollar Ashten later ended up with. Ayden needs to learn the difference between real and fake money. The Nicolas Family stole the geocaching show, finding 4 of the 5 caches. We at some Chinese for lunch and headed home.

Bambi- we saw so many deer on this trip!

The boys really liked this "rip fixer" spool of thread.

Valerie V told me about some cool Paul Bunyan caches in DuPont so on the way home we stopped and found them. We missed the 5th one but we liked the ones we did get to see. The kids thought they were pretty cool but are VERY confused about "Tall Bunyan" asking, "Where is Tall Bunyan?" "When is he going to come and get his stuff?" "Why did he leave it here?" We'll definitely have to stop at the library this week and get a book about Paul Bunyan...it may only confuse them more though?
