We had a great trip to Merritt. Calum got the family interested in geocaching. Mom's pretty good! By the time we left we had found one easy one and a hard one that required climbing up a hillside and fighting off mosquitoes. Mom and dad bought a GPS and were planning their next adventure. Mom's planning on leaving some interesting items at the caches so look out Merritt geocachers.
We had nice visits with my parents, Bonnie, Clint, Nicola, Jen and Pam. Calum spent some time exploring Merritt with them while I did a bit of work. He loved riding bikes with Nicola and Jen, playing with the dogs and running around outside. He even went swimming a few times in their big pool.
He told everyone at the Old DC about his trip. We also got to go pick up dad at the ferry terminal so he was a happy boy on Friday. Now everyone is back home, with no travel planned for a few weeks at least.
Calum and I went out yesterday morning to get the Harry Potter book. Calum was excited, carrying it around for me and trying to read it himself. He didn't like that I spent all day reading it but I'm finished now - a good book with more character development, not a lot of surprises.
Today, will be a quiet day. Calum is busy playing already but we've had a late start so far so I'm going to go get him breakfast. Hope you are all having a good weekend.
Nicola, Calum talks about your fish all of the time and we may be getting him a new one today. Mom and Dad - tell Diane and Gunnar we said hi, sorry to have missed them.

How does this geocaching thing work? Did someone actually go and make places to find and hide stuff there, or how does it work?

Anyone can hide a cache. All you need is a GPS and access to the web. People all over the world do it. You go to the web at http://www.geocaching.com to find out where caches are hidden, download the coordinates to your GPSr and see if they left any clues then off you go. Some people get pretty tricky with where they hide them and the size of the cache varies from micro to mega. When you find it, you can write in the log book that all caches have and when you get home you can enter comments on the web for that cache. That way, you can tell the owner (who has to continually maintain it) if it needs attention. Lots of fun. If you want to come along with us one day we can try it together. There may be a few out near you and Larry.
