A Trip to the Big Apple!

January 27-29, 2006

A trip to the big apple to visit Bec and Clinton. ok, so maybe it's not "the" big apple that you may of thought, but it was definitely more fun at this one. at less than 10 geocache finds under our belt at the time, Rubby and Clinton took the kids out for a day of geocaching fun.

we arrive safely...

and sam finds lots of new toys to play with!

sam sleeps in the next morning!

she finally wakes up... with a huge appetite!

what a basket case!

look... babies come from the store!

llamas

rabbits

and even geocaches at the big apple!

the kids now have to decide what to trade.

sam is just happy to tag along.

whoa, that's a big apple!

but it's closed

next stop, peter's woods provincial nature reserve

gotta have a good hiking stick!

getting a history lesson

others are doomed to repeat it! ;)

a nice sunny spot on the bench to relax.

no caches in here!

nothing under here either

 
aha! the kids found the treasure!

yup... there it is!

church of St. peter

good place for this church travel bug to take a rest.

next... off to the beach!

that's an easy find!

all bundled up

i wonder what could be in this tree? ;)

another geocache "drive-in drive by"

another lake side stop

mmm fish!

the water is frozen (at spots)

still have a couple hours of daylight today!

look out for...

...more fish!

sam trying to figure out how to get out!

happy kids getting ready for bed

the younger ones are contained.
