Saturday/Sunday outside and GeoCaching

Arrived in Gladwin and the kids wanted to play at Grandmas house, so I went out to the river walk, and walked from North Park to City park downtown... Really nice river walk, reminds me a lot of the River Trail in Lansing. Saw several people out enjoying it. On the way back to the car I looked for, and found the geo cache hidden there. On the way out I saw some other geo-cachers.. talked to them for a minute. They were from Grand Rapids, and seeking their 26th geo cache of the *day* and had 1 more to go. wow.
In the evening got some food and just relaxed. Got up about 9 on Sunday and talked to my mom in the morning about the business. We had lunch then headed east of town to the Secord Lake area and another geo-cache hidden there. This was really cool.. drove to a public access (ramp) site on the river.. it was above Secord Lake, but I think that is still the Tittabawassee River? We looked at the river, and the kids threw rocks into the water.. Some people from the nearby marina came by to launch a pontoon boat.. we watched than for a minute and headed into the wood.. there is a foot trail that goes along the river.. away from everything.. just out in the woods :) MA is still a bit uncomfortable, but Mi seems to be dowing much better in the woods. He was in a mood when we started.. but once we got on the trail he started looking at things.. then he wanted to walk in the woods (not on the trail) and that hooked him.. had a big smile, and not another complaint the whole time :) They are city kids, but I want them to understand what it is like to be out in the woods... I want them to be able to appreciate being on a trail in the woods in the middle of nowhere... but also to be comfortable in downtown Chicago catching a train... They have the Chicago part down.. I am working on the outdoors thing... and it is going much better! After than we went to Secord Lake and Dam.. not much to see there.. did one more cache.. just in a field in a subdivision.. theme was bells.. so did not take anything. We headed home.. wf was in much better mood, getting excited about commencement on Friday. We arrived around 6 and the pizza arrived shortly after. Had a nice evening, and the kids were good.. Overall a really, really good weekend
