Geocaching in Sunset Park

An extra day of Geocaching in 2012

Sunset Park is one of my favorite places to go and just watch the Missouri River flow by, but today I went in search of a couple of Geocaches to celebrate an extra day to hunt this year!

The trail to the first cache.....

Whadda ya know! There it is!

The second one was a little more difficult to find.....

Saw it just as I was about to give up.....

A well hidden micro-cache.....

Apparently people who visit the park during the Winter never have to use the bathroom.

There are still a few more caches out there in the park to find, but that's a blog for another day.

A Walk In The Park

Went for a walk along the Missouri River today. It was an unusually warm February day. Made for a nice view of the river....

Late Night Hiccups

Got the hiccups last night shortly after I went to bed. I decided a spoon full of sugar would help. I groped my way into a dark kitchen, grabbed the container, and poured.
Imagine my surprise when I found myself with a mouthful of powdered coffee creamer instead of sugar!
You may be asking....
"How could you make such an obvious mistake?"
Well remember I said the kitchen was dark....and here are my choices for containers:

Next time I'll turn on the lights.

A Little Traveling

We drove up to Wyoming a couple of weeks ago to attend the wedding of one of the kids. We decided to take our grandson along for the trip and let him meet some new cousins and aunts and uncles. At first I thought it was a rather maniacal idea to take a 4 year old on a drive that lasts 14 hours each way, but he turned out to be a great companion. We packed a bag full of toys and he played and sang and jabbered in the back seat and had a grand old time. He was very disappointed when it was time to go back home.
The wedding was nice. After all the work and stress put into it on our end, dealing with changes in plans, dubious decisions on the bride's part, and more glitter than should be allowed on any planet, it turned out better than we expected, and we got a new son-in-law for our efforts.
The reception, on the other hand, left much to be desired. The music was horrific, the DJ stunk, and and they ran out of silverware! I had to eat with a knife and a spoon. BUT - The food was good, the people were fun, and the little kids had a blast.
We also took our dogs along on the trip.They enjoy traveling. In fact, they were so excited they thought the car seat in the back was for them!

All things considered, it was a good trip. Exhausting, though. We were pretty much moving from the time we got there on Wednesday until Sunday. Even the day after the wedding involved a two hour drive back to where we were staying in Cheyenne. I took advantage of a free Saturday afternoon and the grandson and I drove down into Colorado and spent a few hours with my cousins. They took us out to supper and even baked me a birthday cake!
