Week of the Birthday

  The past week was very busy and I was down in the back on top of that.  My back is alot better now and I am still babying it.  Like I put in the title, last wednesday was my birthday and I am creeping closer to that 40 year old mark.  It was a good birthday.  We ate at the Ole Tyme Steakhouse and the kids talked to the waiter to bring out a dessert with a sparkler lit in it.  I think the kids were amazed at it in it's glory.  It was a wonderful family outing.
  Saturday was 4-H shooting sports but after that I took the kids Geocaching.  For those that don't know what that is I will explain.  First you go on www.geocaching.com and pick coordinates for a cache near you.(they explain it on the website).  Insert the coordinates into a GPS and follow the GPS to where it leads you.  It should lead you to a box or canister hidden with trinkets and a log book to sign.  To the kids it was like treasure hunting.  We found six caches that afternoon and they did not want to stop.  This is a go way to get out and enjoy nature.  Other than gas money and a GPS, it is cheap entertainment and the kids really enjoyed it.  Now they want to go every waking moment.  Future Indiana Jones's!!!

Very First Find!

Another cache bites the dust.
