Out again!!

The kids have had spring break this week, and two of them got the flu (fevers, aches, cold, etc). By today, they were going stir crazy and wanted to go do something. Since the 2 inches of snow we got last night had mostly melted by lunchtime, we decided to go out and find two more caches. A little muddy out there, but we found them. Katharine found the first one, and Rachel found the second one!

Our first geocache finds!!!!!

With Edith and Rachel gone to a music competition at Northwestern University, and Katharine and Hannah visiting some friends for the afternoon, Jocelyn and I decided to head out and see if we could log our first geocache find! And we did. I found the first one, and Jocelyn found the second one (which was far more difficult to find than mine). The picture shows Jocelyn at our first find. I think I have her hooked already!

I'm probably going to get into some trouble when the rest of the crew gets home and finds out we've been out. They'll likely force me to go out with them too!

Can't wait for the weather to get better so we can do this more often.

First blogging post

The Mundelein Blom's finally have a blog! About time, isn't it? This one will be used mostly to allow others to follow our geocaching adventures. The Garmin has been ordered, and is apparently in the mail. We hope to get it later this week. Of course, with all the snow still on the ground here, it will be a little rough trying to find caches, but at least we'll have time to figure out how to use the gadget. And then we'll be ready to go as soon as the snow is gone.

I have already uncovered my first fellow geocacher in the area. He happens to be be my right-hand man at work! Perhaps we'll go out geocaching with them a time or two.

So, stay tuned for occasional posts to this blog in the future.
