Multi-caching...

On Sunday we the kids on a hike/geocaching since it was another abnormally warm winter day.  I even got Heidi to come on our adventure and she found our first cache of the day!  There is a park not far from Heidi's house that is close to the ocean and surrounded by marshes that has a multi-cache hunt that we decided to try.  Basically you have the gps coordinates for the first find and then when you find that cache it gives you coordinates for the next, then so on and so on.  This particular set has 6 hidden caches.  We managed to find 3 of the 6 before it got dark and we needed to head back.  My gps was also dying since it hasn't been charged or used in so long.  Usually we just use the iphone app but with longitude and latitude coordinates I need to bust out the garmin.  The boys are getting really good at using the gps and the compass.  They were so mad that it was getting dark but I promised we could finish this hunt another day.  :)

 Taking a snack break...luckily one of the paths led us to a baseball field!

Holy Cow - this would be Brayden actually posing for a picture!!!

This was the last cache we found.  
We were searching all over and then I spotted this little birdie.  
It is hallow with gps coordinates hidden inside of it!
