Geocaching with Friends

Last Wednesday we went geocaching with Kevin, Karen, and their boys. Though, I may not be one for actually searching for the cache, I do enjoy the places that it takes us. We went up to Missouri Valley, IA and Blair, NE. In Missouri Valley, we stopped at the Iowa Welcome Center where they and quite the museum of pioneer articles. It was absolutely beautiful. I decided I could live in a place like Missouri Valley, if it were only closer to Idaho. While there, we found our 100th cache. Unfortunately, we missed taking a picture of it. We did get a picture of our 101 cache.

It was so little.

In Blair, we stopped at a park and had a picnic lunch. The boys got to play on the toys and let out their wiggles.

Geocaching takes us to interesting places. We found found ourselves at Cumming Cemetery in Blair, NE and we also made our way to the tower of the 4 Winds, a monument for a memorial to John G. Neihardt and Black Elk, the Lakota Sioux holy man. While at the monument, we tuckered out both Alex and Dexter. They had had a long, adventure packed day.

We are so grateful for good friends who will go on crazy excursions with us. I know that Ashton is especially thankful to have a geocaching buddy that'll do the dirty work with him. Thanks Kevin and Karen for spending a fun day with us!
