WOW- I don't even know how I stumbled upon this, but talk about something that my kids loved today- GEOCACHING! I have a 7 year old, almost 4 year old, 5 month old and 9 year old neighbor- and today we found our first geocache! I'm pretty sure they are going to dream tonight about our great treasure hunt/trip to the North Pole- I mean really- I might as well have taken them on a Pirate escapade and run through the North Pole they were so excited!
Basically you go to www.geocaching.com and/or download the app to your phone and go! The app on your phone will show you a dot on a map where the cache is and you go find it. The one we found was a tupperware box filled with little trinkets. You take a trinket and replace it with something else- and then sign the log. Apparently there are three caches within 1/2 mile of my house that I didn't know about! There are caches on every continent. It is a really fun and cool thing to do with your kids- and I'm pretty sure if you did it a lot it would be great for the diet- there is a lot of walking, running and looking around involved. Check out the site!
