Table For Seven

On our first Day we went swimming, fishing, and geo-caching. We caught more trees than fish but the kids had fun throwing the line in.

We found lots of interesting bugs. The mosquito population was not a problem at all, however we did find lots of ticks. In one day's time we counted 10 ticks on 4 different people. After that we started doing routine tick checks.

In case you've never heard of geo-caching, it's a scavenger hunt in the woods using GPS coordinates. Before we left home we looked home some "caches" on the internet and got the coordinates. Then once we were in OK we were able to enter the coordinates in the GPS and hunt in the woods for the "cache" A cache is a small box or jar with a log book and pen in it. You simply write your name and date that you found the cache. Sometimes there are small trinkets inside to trade.

This one was located right near a place that you stop to take pictures of Beaver's Bend lake. We scrambled through the woods, for a few yard before finding this one.

In fact Zane found this one.

Zane loved Geo-caching.(so did Mom) Ty on the other hand did NOT.

In fact, after the first time out hunting...he said, "I do not like Geo-caching" Then later he said "the day after this day are we going Geo-caching again?"
Hiking in the woods is not his favorite activity. It became a joke all week. When Someone would ask what are we doing next everyone said "geo-caching" just to see the look on Ty's face.
