I am probably never doing this again. It wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be.

The first day we went out to find a cache we were looking for 3 different caches I wrote the information down on index cards. After walking for over two miles in circles we gave up on the first two of three we searched for the last with two cranky kids . They did not want to be bothered to look any further they kept saying that they did not want to geocache ever again, I pushed on and we made our first find. After they found the cache they wanted to keep going but it was getting late and we had to go home.
When arrived home I too went to the computer and checked the listings and I had completely missed so much information. We tried again a few days later and found the two we missed.
I have also enjoyed looking on my own. I recommended geocaching to everyone I know and even got my sister started and choose a name for her family while out with her boys and mine. This has been such a growing experience for us as a family and I cherish the quality time we spend together. If you think about all of the other things that take up children's time like school, sports, computer games, video games and not really wanting to spend time hanging out with their parents. this has changed my boys would rather go geocaching with me than play a video game. My boys cant wait to have days off from school to go on our next hunt. Now before we go out I download the cache to my gps and write down all information in a memo book and on the back of the page I write the clue. I also highlight the cache # so when we are caching I can look up the listing in my book and know exactly what we are looking for.
Please don't give up we have not had this much fun as a family in along time and you will too.
