One of the things we love to do as a family is geocaching.  It’s great way to discover your neighborhood even if you’ve lived there for a long time.  In our case, we’ve only lived here for a few months and there’s a lot we haven’t discovered yet.  We also get to see a lot of wildlife which is always fascinating to the kids.

While driving down this road…
…we saw this tortoise and I don’t know where the idea that a tortoise is slow came from, but this one moved right along!

 

The road ended here at a river.  What a view!

 

Then on our way back, we saw this – a little piece of local history.

 

A tombstone in a concrete boat.  How cool!We did find a couple caches too, plus a snake that slithered past me, a snake skin, some very unhappy fire ants (ouch!) and we made it home before we got poured on!
