Geocaching
My family loves to geocache!! What? You have never heard of geocaching? Well, it is defined by Geocaching.com as:
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
Yeah, so basically we get our GPS, download the coordinates to the “caches,” and go wander around back roads, hiking trails, and forests looking of containers that sometimes hold small trade items and sometimes it just has a log book to sign. We sign the log, trade an item (called swag) with one of equal value (if we choose to) and replace the cache just how we found it, log “found it” (or not) on the Geocaching app on my phone, and head off to the next one… It is a great family activity and it gets you out doing and seeing stuff you normally wouldn’t!!
Sparkler Safety

So you have little ones who love sparklers but hate getting the sparks on their hands??
And you have heard the stories of the plastic cups catching on fire??
With very little effort (and a solo cup & tin foil) you will have your kiddos enjoying drawing their names with the sparkler light once again!
A Day at the Lake
This Post Contains Affiliate Links
June 7th of this year was “Free Fishing Day” in Texas. This means we could fish any Texas waters for one day only without a fishing license! Of course, we had to load up the rods, paddle boat, picnic basket, & the family and headed out to the lake with my sister and brother in law!!
It was an absolutely beautiful day on Lake Sam Rayburn!!

To some this may look like work or just a pile of lumber but to a little boy it looks like adventure and happiness in a tree house!
Looking Back at 2013–Part 4
Around two years ago I stopped blogging. Living life seemed to get in the way of blogging about it. For a little while, I tried to play catch up and managed to get a half of 2012 blogged but it was lacking the luster of blogging about current events. I hate the idea of having “time gaps” on my blog so I will play catch up with one blog each year, hitting the highlights for 2012 and 2013 rather than blogging each event.
So here is “Looking Back at 2013! The LAST one!
~Part 4~
