For Christmas I asked for, and received, a GPS device. Casey likes whenever I take an interest in technology, so he is quick to indulge. If the technology comes in colors, I usually ask for pink or purple. Not because I'm a big fan of pink and purple, but because I hope it will prevent Casey from borrowing my stuff. So far my strategy hasn't worked because pink and purple are always "out of stock," or so he tells me. (He finally got his own MP3 player, so now I can have mine back, after "sharing" my anniversary gift for a year and a half.) Well, my GPS device is yellow. But if you ever see me in the future with a pink laptop computer, you'll know why...
The GPS is so I can go geocaching. And today we went out to find our first cache. It was a lot of fun since the whole family could participate, even Chester. We searched the caches at Geocaching.com and found an easy one for our first find. It was smart to start with an easy one since Casey was trying to juggle Chester and the video camera and we forgot the backpack carrier for Charlie, who likes to wander off in his own direction. Then Chester chewed right through his leash - I don't think he meant to do it, he was chewing on a rock (don't ask) and the leash got in the way. But we all had a lot of fun.
Our parents didn't know what geocaching was, so Casey made a video our first find to help them understand. Geocaching is somewhat secretive (you don't want to give away the hiding spot), so I hope I'm not seriously offending the geocaching community by posting our video. Hopefully it may encourage more people to try it out.

I went to YouTube to look for geocaching videos.
