Geocaching Trip

This year in school the 5th graders were learning about latitude and longitude, so we decided to teach them to geocache to go along with that unit. We had a great time and really enjoyed watching the kids, so to make it even better we decided to take a day this summer and go caching. Now keep in mind the people I went with had only ever done the caches I set up at school, which weren't the best, but they had fun. So we set up a day and made our lunches and went out caching. It was so fun for me to watch everyone search for the cache, I know it wasn't totally fair because the first couple we went to I had already done so I was able to help a little bit and enjoy watching them make the find. However after the first couple we went looking for some caches I hadn't found and then the competition got heated. After I found the next 2 caches easily and didn't hardly give them a chance it turned into a competition and everyone was racing to find it before me, I have to admit they were successful and found a few before I did, but I loved the competition. The day was wonderful and we all had a great time, I'm still thinking that next time we will have to go to the hills, or somewhere that I haven't been before just to make it fair for everyone. Here are a few pictures of the fun we had and the people I get to work with during the school year, they are great people and I'm very blessed to have them in my life.
I'm supposed to go where?

Searching for the cache.
