Time With Uncle Zach

This past weekend my younger brother Zachary came and stayed with us. He is always very busy with his job in Chicago, so having him with us was very special. He and Gideon went and saw The Lion King in 3D. It was Gideon's first time going to a movie. We hung around home mist of the weekend, went to church on Sunday, had a family from church over for lunch, and had a great meal out on Sunday night. Zachary was the best man in our wedding, so it's super-awesome seeing him invest in the lives of our kids. Thanks for coming, Zachary, I love you.

Family Day at Naibi Zoo

The children's ministry at our church is awesome. And with that, our family attended the free day at the zoo on Friday. Gideon loved it. Hope was agreeable, and we had fun participating. Memories, gotta love em.

Geocache Follow-up

So the prize that Gideon traded from the cache was a heart erasure. On the way home he said he wanted to give it to Mama as a present. I believe this is the first time he's given her a present. I love his thoughtfulness!

Gideon's Geocaching

Took Gideon out for an hour of geocaching. Found three, twice stumped. Here was his favorite so far. A birdhouse along a bike in Moline. He loves treasure hunting. I loved walking a path I didn't even know existed.

Geocaching

Gideon and I went geocaching the other day and I got a bit of video since this one is in a Halloween series of caches.  He found three of the four of the ones we found in a half hour.  Super-fun!
