Geo-caching?!?

What is Geo-caching? Well, Auntie A introduced us to this fun game of treasure hunting. Basically, you download coordinates onto your GPS system and then when you get there, you search for the treasure.
Here is one called "baby back ribs" It was in the parking lot of a Chilis. We found it underneath the bottom of the lampost.

You have to use your GPS as well as the clues that are provided on the website. Here is one we found underneath a huge pole at Culvers. The paper Drew is holding is the "log" that everyone has signed when they find it. That one had been there since 2007! There are also little trinkets you can take, but if you take one, you need to leave one.
It was so fun and who knew that there were so many of these hidden treasures around here? This will be a new little hobby for us...thanks Auntie A!

Brooke Rules!



The weather has been so nice here, that Brooke and I like to go in the backyard and have our snack during the day. She pulls up her little red watermelon chair that Papa got her and attempts to drink out of a little juice box.
It is so funny.




She hasn't mastered the skill of the juice box. She squeezes the box, takes out the straw, or turns it upside down. She will NOT let you help her out of fear that she may not get it back. She's like a dog protecting it's food. I just sit there and let her pour it all over her and the ground. It buys me at least 15 minutes of sitting still.

This weekend, Auntie A came to visit (more pics. to follow) and she bought Brooke these sunglasses which she loved! She is always wanting to put mine on so now she has her own. How cute is that!



I just had to post a picture of her in this outfit that she wore to church. It is the first time she wore it and it is adorable.



I know the bow is almost as big as her head, but come on, we live in Texas!! Everything's bigger in Texas!!
