Our snowy spring seems to have jumped straight to summer with a side of thunderstorms. It has gotten difficult to stay indoors with the sun shining so brightly. 
We decided to pack up a lunch, head to the park, and do a little exploring.
This playground was pretty fun.
This girl loves the swing!
David's getting a little help from Rebecca since he can't reach the spinner thing. This could make you dizzy quickly.
Anna still gets scared to go down the slide by herself.
Oreos for dessert!
Time to leave the park and do a little geocaching.
We have trails all around our home. It's great for bike rides, runs, and exploring. 
This is a fake rat with a geocache attached to it. Yuck, right? It's a good thing I have children who aren't afraid of rodents and other insects. I never would have reached my hand in there.
The landscaping along the trail is quite fun for everyone. There's track with this old wagon thingy.
You can pump yourself along the track. . . or lift your sister up.
I've been practicing a little landscpe photography. More on that another time.
You might think this is an ordinary tree, but take a closer look.
That isn't a real pinecone. I'm sure that during pinecone season it might be a little more difficult to find, but when there is just one pinecone on the whole tree it makes it pretty easy.
Our last cache brought us to this view.
Rachel has the best eye in our family. She seems to find most of the caches.
They were super tiny caches on this hunt, but still a ton of fun. Now we're off to make it home before the storm rolls in.

What a fun outing, Jan. Do you do this by yourself or is Jared along on this trip? Geocaching looks like such a wonderful thing to do as a family.
Normally we all go together, but that day we were just going to go to the park and ride bikes. We just ended up geocaching on the side. ;)
