Geo-caching















During spring break we decided we needed to get out of the house and do something different. We didn't have to go far to find different, just to the green belt down the street, which transformed our spring break.  The once small stream was swollen from all the rain the previous day and it turned our geo-caching into an adventure. The boys were thrilled  as we now  had to cross a treacherous stream, make a rock path, help the women folk across, get wet, and lose some socks down stream.
We found our sought after geo-cache prize and were rather proud of ourselves for figuring it out. Mackenzie ended up being the leader of the expedition and did a fantastic job.
All that water inspired our next project, building a boat.
Building the boat...Will it float?
Roped mom into carrying the boat...mom think its heavy...will it float?
We have a toast with grape soda for a safe journey...will it float?
Launching time...it floats, YEAH!

  2. Who is the author of this post-- Patten? Great work! I love to Geo-cache too! And the boat is impressive. PVC and flotation devices? Genius. Now I know you Whitings can survive if you were marooned on a small island and needed to get to the geocache for waterproof matches, food, and over the reef to get rescued. Fun Spring break!
