I'm hooked on geocaching. Basically, geocaching is treasure hunting with a handheld GPS. There are over 1,500,000 caches worldwide, with one in at least every country of the world. I started doing it as an opportunity to get outside and spend time with my family. It has now blossomed into a ministry tool as I've taken multiple kids from the youth group. A few weeks ago I took my high school guys RIOT group caching.
Gideon enjoys treasure hunting with me and so today we made a quick stop on the way home from an errand to grab one (while Kathee and Hope stayed in the car).
To date I've found 80 caches, but more are on the way!

| For Gideon, finding what's inside the cache is the treasure. For me, it's just finding the cache! |

| Gideon loves to play with the treasures we find inside the cache (the rule is to trade. Putting in something and taking out something else of equal value). Today he decided he wanted the dried-up Play-do that we promptly threw away because, "this one has salt all over it," whatever that meant! |
