Geo-Date
Geo-Date
January 14, 2012
Ever since we had started geocaching we had yet to go with out the kids. This time we made a date of it. The kids had stayed the night with my sister and so we took advantage of some alone time to actually get to geocache and be the ones to find the caches. Normally, I guess we are too old and slow to make it to the caches before the children!
The first cache on our list was one called the Catahoula Boulders.
Cache a Zoo
Cache a Zoo

I was looking around on the map for some place to go geocaching and I spotted that the local zoo had a handful of them placed strategically around it’s property. The kids always love going to the zoo so it was a double blessing to have caches there. I was somewhat worried that maybe it would be hard to hunt them without being noticed with so many people around but I was ready with my geocaching pamphlet in hand if questioned.
Group pics are a must where ever we go… well most of the group. We parents are not to keen on being in the pictures.
Blackforest Fall Hike
Blackforest Fall Hike

Thankful for fall to have arrived bringing with it cooler weather, we wanted to get outdoors as much as we could, so we find ourselves once again at Blackforest. As soon as we got out of the Tahoe I spot some loons floating on the water, some diving for their dinner.
I hear Stewart shout, “Hey, y’all check out this big bird, I think it is an eagle!”
Veteran’s Day Outing 2011
Veteran’s Day Outing 2011

Stewart was off work for a federal holiday we decided to go hiking and sight seeing over in Louisiana for something different. I looked up “Fort Jesup” and thought… Veteran’s Day…Fort… cool! We planned to stop by North Toledo Bend State Park on the way. As we were driving, we stumbled upon a Veterans Memorial Park which seemed out in the middle of no where, of course we stopped.
Stewart and I read the names on the monument while the kids checked out the tank and chopper.

Silly Times in Science
October 20, 2011
Sometimes when I read lessons to the kids I make up funny voices… today I was a drill sergeant…
We are studying the bones in our Health/Science book “The Young Explorers Series Exploring Creation with the Human Body and Physiology”.
I shouted the question, ” What is the difference between the first seven ribs and the last five ribs, RODENTS!”
(I was calling them maggots but “Corporal”Austin reminded me that the maggot is an invertebrate so the lesson would not apply, so I changed it to rodents)…
