Geocaching

One of our favorite things to do is to go geocaching. You can read here to see one of our first adventures.

Yesterday we went up hiking up a trail in Kaysville. There was a cach box hidden in a cave that we had to find. We decided to try and use the gps on Morgan's phone. Yeah that didn't work out so well. We ended up going up a super steep mountain that took us about 45 out of our way! Next time we will just use our gps that we have in our car. Since we didn't have exact coordinates we had to go by the clues we got off line. After 2 and a half hours we almost gave up, but finally, I found the cach hidden in some rock. We were so happy to have finally found it!Here is the "cave" we had to climb up to find the cach box. This picture doesn't really show how high up you had to climb. It was kinda scary!

As our hike ended I talked with the kids about how they felt about the hike. I mentioned to them that we finished the hike because we helped each other out. Bailey helped Carson up steep parts and Logan had very encouraging words to say to everyone. We agreed that as a family we can do anything! Bailey pointed out also, that just when we wanted to give up, we decided to keep going and we found our reward! Isn't that how life goes? Just when you feel like you can't go on, our loving Heavenly Father wraps his arms around us and carries us through. What a blessing it is to have such a caring Father in Heaven. This hike is one we will never forget. We learned a lot about each other, and we got some pretty cool souvenirs :)
