How to beat summer boredom ~ GeoCaching

"Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers (us) equipped with a GPS device. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experience online..."

Just follow the arrow <--------------


Found it!!!




Sometimes it is a hike to find one!

Looking for another one ---------------->

I found it!!!

This one was so tiny! All we did was sign our names to the log!!

Our last one....at a fish store...(and I thought this was going to be a FREE adventure)

Glad I didn't have to look for it in there!!!

Found it!!!

What's inside???

A big Slurpee was very much deserved after this hot adventure!!

and so was a little couch time....

(p.s. please excuse our summer hair....this was one of those no make-up, no hair combing days!) ;)

4th of July Favorites

This 4th, we joined Dan's family at Tia's lakehouse for some 4th of July fun! The weather was overcast and much cooler (most of the time). But not cool enough to keep up inside! We had a great time! Thanks Tia and Eddy for sharing the fun with us!! We had a blast!
Drew had a pull-pop firework! Silly kid!!! But I love him!!! ♥

We all got some good relaxing in!! I just caught Grandmommy at it! The furniture there is sooo pretty and comfy!!!
Here is Tia with her babies this trip! Both her girls were out f town! Actually, Abby was out of the country in Africa on a Mission Trip!! Lindsey was in St. Louis! We missed them!!
Pluto had a great time at the lake! It was so cute seeing him with his cousins, Zowie and Ellie! (above) Although he did fall in the lake at one point!!!
Dan took him out for a canoe ride! (Can you spot him in the canoe? His little head is above the AD on the writing on the canoe!!) SO CUTE!!!
Fun colored smoke bombs!!
A "wild" ride, literally, on the golf cart!! We love riding that thing around the neighborhood!! We usually pass a few other ones on the roads too!!
Lots of fun happens on this patio! Conversations, games, eating!!!

I love my Ninja Zach! ♥

Granddaddy on the boat waiting for the fireworks!!
Zach and Drew decided to wait, IN the water!!
Pluto had a comfy spot on the boat waiting for fireworks!!! ♥
It was sooooo pretty out on the lake at night with all the other boats!! I took my sweatshirt incase I got cold (which didn't happen)...
And the favorite time of the night, shooting our fireworks!! This particular one was HUGE!!!
The night ended with cool sparkler designs!!
There was a lot of fishing going on this 4th of July weekend too! Some fish were caught, but the neatest catch was when Eddy caught his American Flag that had blown off his dock a year earlier. We thought it was pretty special to find it again on the 4th!
God Bless America!!!!!
