Geocaching

There are certain geocaches which is just easier to do if you have a kid with you, especially when it is hidden somewhere around a kiddies play area.  This was the case last weekend when I stopped by Grass Roof on Seaview Road and needed Drama Princess to cover me while looking for cache.  She immediately hopped on the tractor and I pretended to take a picture of her while retrieving the container.
