Last weekend Daddy went on a golf trip to La Parisma, so we packed up and tagged along so that we could enjoy the beach for the weekend. We spent most of the day Saturday there, collecting rocks, investigating seashells and starfish and then building sand castles. Then we headed inland to visit family. Both kids helped paint the rocks then put on eyes (my little girl insisted that most of them have 3 eyes rather than 2) and we now have a cute little herd of pet rocks. We decided we'll give them to really special friends/family to protect their gardens from yucky bugs. With a little extra daylight left, we rode tricycles down to the playground and ended the day with highly requested chicken soup.

Sunday we (the kids, their Aunt & I) spent trekking around, looking for local geocaches. Out of seven that we took the time to get to, we found five of them, couldn't get one open, another had been taken and only one we couldn't find at all. Pretty good for some amateurs, eh? We took nothing and left nothing, but it was worth the time for the exercise and time spent teaching the kids to "treasure hunt".
