We went to the Giants game in San Francisco on Sunday with the Cunningham's (John, Deb, Jack and Megan). They lost the game but the best part was Geocaching before and after the game. I had heard about it before but never done it. It's very geeky but sooo fun! It's sort of like a scavanger hunt and the Amazing Race combined. You use a GPS device to find things that have been hidden in places all over the world. The GPS gives you the coordinates and hints about the objects in your area. So its something you can do anywhere you go. We found a couple in San Francisco and then one more in Pleasanton 2 blocks from our house!
The GPS device costs about $200 bucks so I'll be adding this to our Christmas list (hint hint) unless we can't wait. The thing I like about it is that it gets the whole family out of the house and you can explore things and places that you wouldn't normally see. For example, you can image what would happen if I asked Geoff and the girls "How would you like to go for a 5 mile hike today???" I imagine that would go over like a fart in church. However, if your off to find a treasure in the mountains that happens to be roughly 5 miles, well so be it. Anyway, I don't have any pictures unforunately but just imagine the Fuller Four with big huge smiles on our faces. :-)
