Poem

One of the requirements for Faith in God that Jayden just completed was to write a poem about God's Creations.  I was very impressed with his poem that I wanted to post it here so we'll always have it.

He created Earth
Each and every one of us
A Savior
Very stormy weather
Eternal life
Nine plus one commandments
Lions
You, too

Families
A very beautiful world
Three kindgoms
Happiness
Every single prophet
Rabbits
Seals, too

Created everything
Racoons
Everything we know of
Apples
Turtles
Immortality
Onions
No one wasn't created by him
Snakes also

Geocache Hunting!

Our family has found a new activity we all LOVE!  Geocache hunting!  If you haven't tried it you should!  The kids absolutely love it.  For those who don't know what it is, I'll explain.  Someone takes a container and puts some 'stuff' in it, including a paper for people to sign when they find it, and then they 'Register' the geocache online with the GPS coordinates.  Anyone can just look up what geocaches are around them and plug in the coordinates into a GPS unit, and then follow it and search for the geocache.  Once you find it you can take an item out as long as you put a new item in and then you sign the paper saying you were there and log your visit online when you get home. There are all different sizes of containers and levels of difficulty.  Here's a picture of a geocache as an example.

We use our car GPS unit.  It doesn't work the best, but it gets us close enough.  It's such a fun activity for the whole family!  Here's the website to find a cache near you:
