Our family is enjoy new hobbies this summer. They both appeal to our adventure seeking natures! The first is Geocaching. Geocaching is a treasure hunting game. You try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share your experiences online. We haven’t had as much luck with finding the caches as we would have liked. So far we’ve only found three! It’s a fun hobby (as long as you find the cache), but I think I’ll enjoy it a lot more once Autumn arrives. It’s hot out there!
The second hobby is one that they guys have wanted to get into for a long time – metal detecting. Zach bought a used metal detector from craigslist a couple of weeks ago. Since then he and Randy have spent just about every free minute they’ve had detecting. They have found a lot of coins (several wheat pennies and liberty dimes) and other things like a pocket knife and an old trigger from a gun. Most of their finds have been right in our own yard – underneath the old maple tree. Like geocaching though, I think I’ll enjoy it more once cooler temperatures arrive!
It’s great to be enjoying new hobbies, especially ones that we can do as a family!
