Hardest Cache Yet!

We saw a new cache pop up on the email and thought we'd give it a try. I was rated pretty high but we didn't expect it to be this hard! We were searching in the rain for probably about an hour when we saw someone walking up to us. Andrew says momma a muggle! But it wasn't, it was a fellow Geo-cacher, and also the co hider of the cache. With a few hints from him Andrew actually spotted it! It was a teenie tiny log book hidden inside a home made pine cone container, it was really fun especially getting to meet another cacher.

Another couple of caches today!

We saw a new cache pop up and ran out to grab it. We didn't get first to find, but we did get second to find! Andrew traded a bouncy ball for a rubber snake.

 There was another cache hidden in the same park so we decided to grab that one at the same time. These two put us up to 33 Geo-caches!

Perfect day for some caches!

Today the weather was gorgeous! We decided to get out and get some caches logged. Our first stop was to The Home Depot so Andrew could make his project at the kids workshop. He built a flower planter. After we stopped at a park right next to Home Depot and found our first of the day.
 Our next stop was at a little park just across the street. It was a hidden in a tree with good cammo, but we nabbed it.

 The next was pretty tricky, and one of our two hardest from the day. The GPS didn't want to keep a signal in the heavily wooded area so we'd have to go to a more open area and count our steps. Well we finally spotted it, but it was hidden well-inside a log! 
Since this one took so long to find, we took a few minutes and played on the playground that we parked near.
 The next one was just hidden behind a bush in a nearby park, but was still really well hidden...can you spot the cache?
 This next one was hidden in a sort of empty lot behind Rainbow Foods. There was a huge pile of rocks, we searched and searched for nearly half an hour and found nothing. As we were just ready to give up Andrew realized he dropped a swag from earlier in the day and we went back to look for it. Luckily we did because we spotted the cache! When we found it there was a mouse guarding it, once we scared him off we were able to make the grab.
 The next we found wasn't in such great shape, it looked like someone had cut it open, but we still found it.
 Our last one of the day was at the Alimagnet Dog Park. We stopped by home to grab Trixie since we didn't want people wondering why we were at the dog park without a dog. We found it inside a bird house. And Trixie had a blast playing with the other dogs. She is now passed out on the couch.

With the ones we found today, we are up to 27 caches!!
