geocachin' in the sticks

earlier this summer aaron's brother gave him a GPS for his birthday. so, he got online & printed out some geocache's close to the house. we decided to try it out & told the girls that we were going on a treasure hunt. the first one we picked was the closest at jordan parkway. we started out on what seemed to be a trail but then decided it was not, backtracked & headed to the actual parkway. once there, we headed out to the west side of the river, bushwhacking it for about 1 mile til we got to the edge of the river only to find that our treasure was on the other side. argh. backtracked again to the parkway, go off the parkway....bushwhacked it again on the east side of the river only to be disappointed once we got to the edge of the river 30 feet from our destination. our treasure has been swallowed up on the river. charley & i took a pic of us being sad because they were very disappointed. we needed to be successful. so, aaron took us to some other ones in a park nearby. i must say that my laser eye surgery has been a success because i spied them both...& one was tiny. you can see charley holding it in one of the pics. anyway, it was so much fun despite being thwarted on our first try.
