Geocaching with Scooter

This past weekend we had a Geocaching/Wii weekend with some old Westie friendies. Larry was going to come, but stayed away due to a gall-bladderless wife. TallBrad did come, but missed geocaching due to his wife's illness. Scooter and his family toughed it out and made it in time for Geocaching. Troopers!

Our first stop was to find the geocache by St. Peter's Pearly Gates. Finding the cache brought us to a sign. The kids knew exactly what to do. Pose!


The kids play while Scooter signs the cache log. But I'm not going to tell you where we found it!



Scott inapproptiately touches a slide.



And, of course, the gates. They're beautiful.



We left St. Peter and travelled down the Minnesota River to 7-Mile Creek Park. Koleman points to a sign indicating that he would be very wet if it was June of 1993.



The cache was called "Boat Landing". Where do you think Koleman found the cache? (This was a recurring theme on this day)



Milena and Eryn scream as they face certain doom. There is a dangerously dangling branch above them. Being a good father, I told them to stand under the dangerous branch and act scared. They did.



It's not geocaching if there isn't a snack.



Koleman, despite having a GPS, gets lost among the trees. No, go that way!



Three kids, all within 10 feet of a cache. Hint: look for rusty metal!



Eli found it!



And then we went home.
