Geocaching!

Yesterday, Mom, Ben and I went Geocaching around our neighborhood! Ben is doing a geocaching merit badge for boy scouts, so we got an app on Mom's phone and attempted 5 different caches. 

The app map gave us a basic idea of where we needed to go, then when we got within a hundred feet we just had to walk around under we saw the number of feet going down...until we got to 0. That was where the cache box was supposedly located. 

In the description of this cache it warned us to watch for gators- I decided not to help much on this one...

Sometimes we would look...

and look...

...and looked- but couldn't find some. We figured they had been accidentally moved by a "muggle", which is the term for a non-geocacher.

Our first cache (that we found) was on the bottom of a park bench. We were quite excited to sign our name on the log book:)

We are "Bboyfridge" apparently...

We spent a long time trying to find this one, but we think it might've been moved from it's tree.

Ben climbed some, but didn't find anything.

It was getting dark as we looked for this one in the woods.

Ben tried to find this one...

...but the app wasn't very helpful.

:)

The last one we tried was our second find! It was titled: Lead it to Beaver, which I figured out meant it was at Buc-ees, under a lamp-post box.

So out of the 5 we tried to find- we could only get 2, but it was still a very fun night!
