A Walk in the Greenbelt

It has been a crazy busy year for us! It seems like FOREVER since I have blogged AnYtHiNg.  Being busy with work, baking, PTA's, the boys activities and moving into a new house, has left little time for blogging.  

 

So, to start the summer off right, here are some of our latest family adventures!

We have moved into a  new house, which is located on a greenbelt- and it's awesome! The hubby and the boys could not wait to go exploring!

This is the winter view from our back porch...

I must also mention that we have been introduced to Geocaching. This is the most awesome thing ever! I first heard about it on a CSI episode, and later from my sister. If you love adventure and seek and find games- you will definately love Geocaching!

Here is the basics of Geocaching:

Website: http://www.geocaching.com/

Definition: Geocaching, also referred to as a global positioning or GPS stash hunt, is a recreational activity in which someone "buries" something for others to try to find using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The pursuit can be thought of as a GPS-enabled treasure hunt.

You log onto a website, type in your location and ta-da! (There is also an app for smart phones, because, well- what is there NOT an app for)  It will list tons of Geocaches around your location.  There are literally millions of them all around the world!  Then using your GPS (most smart phones will have GPS) you start seeking the Geocache!  You can hide them and find them, so far we are just finding.  It is sooo much fun.  They really enjoy seeking out the treasures in our neighborhood and surrounding areas. 

Here are a couple of pictures of our adventure:

Note:  The actual Geocache locations are not in these pictures. 
           Showing the locations is generally frowned upon by the serious Geocachers. 

I also love photography. During our exploration, there were so many beautiful things to photograph! Here are a few of the nature pictures I took.
