A Trip to the Cat Kingdom

Ethan sending messages to "everyone in the Cat Kingdom" about a secret portal and hidden treasure.

Today we took the boys for a walk in the woods. We spent an hour and a half walking the trail and geocaching along the way. The boys declared it an "epic quest" and carried their cat tail "spears" that they collected along the way.
































The stopped everyone we met on the trail and asked if they wanted to join our "Epic Quest" and told them about their spears for protection and about the Cat Kingdom and got many smiles from the strangers.

Enchanted Tree

Ethan sat on a "throne" inside a evergreen tree. Landon found a banquet hall between a grove of tree branches and they found several signs of "bob cats and wolves" (not really) that they needed to protect us against. They also found several magical objects of protection in the form of stones.

I'm not sure if there is anything more magical than little boys on an adventure in the woods. Real life felt a little flat after a trip to the Cat Kingdom!

Vacation! Virginia Trip: 8/16/13 and 8/17/13

8/16/13

We went out for a walk along the bike trail that my Dad frequents and we stopped by to see the nearby Quarry.

Next we decided to look up some Geo-caches while we were out there.

Found it!

8/17/13

We left for home on a rainy day and from what I remember it was pretty uneventful!

And that wraps up my photos from our vacation last year! Almost exactly one year old!

Enjoying the scenery.

Found it!

One of the top 5 coolest geocache containers we have seen yet.

Helping daddy look for another one.

Bluebonnets are starting to show up.

Ethan found a broken kite that must have blown out of a tree. He had so much fun running and making it "fly" behind him.

Geocaching in March

Ethan playing with an abandoned toy he found.

Exploring while we look for a geocache.

After this point we realized that we had lost both Ethan's monster and our gps. Luckily after we retraced our steps for a while we found them again!

We also found this lovely snake.

Landon is a great geocacher.

Closing in on another cache and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Ethan loves going through the "treasures" while we sign the log-book!

Sunday at the farm

Geocaching for the first time in over 2 years.

Ethan's first geocache find. He thought finding 'treasure' was pretty neat! Landon seemed to enjoy it as well.

We love coming out here! I think it is one of the most peaceful places on earth.
