New Obsessions!

Hey there!
It's been awhile again... but hey, I have two kids, a hubby, a dog, two cats, a house, a full-time job and 2 thriving farms on Farmville (yes, I'm one of those).


On top of that I've been trying to get into the couponing game... I've saved quite a bit and have a bit of a stockpile; toilet paper, paper towel, laundry detergent & deoderant.  I've gotten some awesome free samples too.


But this post is about GEOCACHING!

Geocaching is "a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location."

I've just started out, so I'm avoiding the hard ones and the ones that have lots of rough climbing and stuff... not ready for that challenge yet!  Not going to be rock climbing for a cache or anything yet...


We're planning a trip tomorrow to enjoy the outdoors, have some play time and to go Geocaching with the kids... not sure how that's going to play out, but we'll see.  Not sure if we should take the dog either... he's a French Bulldog and they get overheated easily...


Our Geocaching backpack will contain...

• IPhone
• Xperia Cell Phone
• Gardening Gloves
• All-in-one Tool
• Flashlight
• Swiss Army Knife
• Sunscreen
• First aid kit
• Lighter
• Extra ziplocks
• Trade items (like a cellphone holder and silly banz)
• Pen
• Marker
• Water
• Snacks
• Wallet
• Lunch
• Wet wipes
• Extra Clothes for each kid
• Diapers
• Hand Sanitizer
• Portable water dish and food (if Jack comes)
• After bite
• Benadryl
• Insect Repellant

This is for the daytrip kind... for the other ones we just went.  Should have brought the tradeable items though.  I'm going to leave some in the car for swaping.  AND A PEN!  I've had to scrawl a couple of times and it looks like crap.  If you can actually read it! 


I saw someone had a sticker so they didn't have to write anything.  I thougt that was kind of cool... guess you have to write the date though.




I'm really excited about the Belfountain Playground... apparently it's in the middle of nowhere and some of the area residents don't even know about it!  "I also want to visit the Badlands.





Who's ready for
the next cache?!



I'll keep you posted about how it went and if the "Children of the Corn" made it out without driving me crazy!  Or "Cujo" doesn't rip my arm out of it's socket running after another dog... or "Christine" doesn't break down and leave us stranded... or "Jack Torrance" doesn't start chasing me around the forest along with my children of the corn!
