Favourite Places

We've visited our favourite places countless times  this spring and summer and we try to think of one more friend who hasn't come with us yet. Armed with nature notebooks and a trinket for a geocache, it's always a good excuse to head for the trail. It might sound silly but I often pray and ask God to reveal some little treasure just for us. This day, He uncovered a tiny nest of the Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher! Oh, the sweet, quiet squeaking sound they make! We stopped short on the path and searched high and low after hearing it. Husband and wife zipped back and forth feeding their babies every few minutes. A treasure, indeed :)

Geocachers

We dig, we hunt, we search up and down, inside and out, in forests and in parking lots. We're looking for treasure and it's the thrill of the hunt that leads us back again and again for more. Have you ever gone geocaching? (www.geocaching.com) Looking for something to do to get the wiggles out? You've never seen your kiddos (or yourself) become such a sleuth until you've broken into this world of hidden containers. When we find one, oh, the joy! Sometimes we can trade an item, sometimes, we simply sign our names to say we've found it! Join the fun!
