Yesterday, Michael, Eddie, Bailey and I geocached and had some fun with that. Our first DNF was a true DNF in that we couldn't find the nano. But it was a nano and unless they managed to hide the cache on the orange spot of the ladybug we spotted, we didn't find anything that could be a cache. Then, we found a regular cache in Butler Park, which was really fun for the kids. Our final DNF was because the whole area had been levelled and covered in construction equipment.

Michael, Bailey and I did some waymarks today until it was time for Bailey's CCD. Then, Michael and I took photos of the sanctuary while we waited. Bailey's class was being taught the Stations of the Cross this week so they came into the Church while we were in there to examine the art on the walls. I was very proud to watch Bailey and how she really does know all the answers and pay attention. The teacher had already told me that she was the best student, but it was very nice to see it in person.

While we were out waymarking, it was Bailey who spotted this little guy:

Baby gator

I really love that the kids have an interest in these hobbies and enjoy them just as much as we do.

My mother had given Eddie some nuts. He was very happy with this and decided that he and his sister would plant the nuts in the backyard so they could grow into trees. I let them because it was harmless fun and I was certain that they'd forget about it or reasonably accept when no trees resulted.

For the past few weeks, the kids have been troubled by the disappearance of the nuts. I assumed that they are just not remembering where they planted them.

This morning I spot a squirrel aggressively digging in our lawn to retrieve these nuts, and carry them back to his tree.

All the more power to him.
