TREASURE HUNTING

So, we have a new hobby to fill our spare time, yes it is treasure hunting.  Well, it is really called "Geo Caching", but I like to think of it as treasure hunting.  I am not sure if I would call the things we find treasures, but if you were to ask my sweet Grammy K, aka Gnizzle, she would tell you the toys and trinkets in these cashes, are truly treasures.  

Today we took our friends Brandon, and Nicole on an adventure to the top of a mountain to find one of our "treasures".  The best part of the hunt is holding the GPS, so we let Nicole lead the way, it was her first treasure hunt.  We headed up the mountain to find our treasure, if you notice in the picture, we look like we might have been lost.  That is because adventurous Chris was convinced if the GPS pointed off the trail, we should go off the trail.  So, we headed down into the gully, which come to find out was full of stinging newdow.  As we were tumbling down the hill, we were all yelping out every time the newdow hit our legs.  Our mountain dog Sam was frolicking through the newdow, and running up and down the sides of the gully.  We got down in the gully, and started to make our way back up the other side, and decided the treasure might not be worth all the hassle.  Come to find out, the trail actually wrapped around the other side, and led us to the treasure, but it wouldn't be the same if it wasn't an adventure.

We kept hiking, and Brandon and Nicole found their first treasure!  They were so excited, can't you tell!  We had a good time, and I can't wait for our next treasure hunt!  I know some of you are laughing right now, but don't knock it until you try it :)
