Aarastas and Sarsosari

We had a super day today! After Ar's tap lesson, we went and helped to clean the church building. (It's nice only having two wards in the building, but it means you get to clean it more!) The kids were a big help. Good old dare devil "Shosh" jumped off the stage. My kids are such monkeys! After that the real fun began. We went on a little drive through our neighborhood to try our hand at geocaching. We began at our house and followed the directions given to us by Aaron's new GPS. This particular geocache was called, "Ring Around the Rosa." (We live off of Rosa street.) We walked through a park on a path and found where the "treasure" was hidden. We had to be real sneaky because there were lots of other people walking on the path. There are two rules to geocaching, I guess. First, don't let the "muggles" see you. Those are people who don't have a GPS, that could potentially steal the treasure! Second, make sure if you take a treasure, you leave one to replace it. After lots of hunting, Aaron spied it! It was hidden in a black canister that had ivy on it and fake leaves glued to it. We wrote in the little log book and chose our treasure. There was lots of lame little things in there...like a play-dough cookie cutter, and junky toys. We took this cute little kitty made out of beads...pretty much the coolest thing there! We left a new matchbox car. (Thanks to Amy and Keith, we have a life time supply of these!!) Then we played at a park, found earthworms, (Noah's treasure) and went and had Costco hot dogs for lunch. We stopped by REI and then went and sat by the water fountain outside to let the kids get their hands wet. Noah was crawling on the edge just like we told him not to and Josh came up behind him and shoved him in the water. Surprisingly enough, Noah didn't scream, though he was soaked! He was just standing in waist-high water looking rather sheepish! We then came home to get Noe dry clothes! Too bad we didn't have the camera. So fun!!
