Hiking, Geocaching and St. Paddy's Day:)

This week is March Break in our area which means no school for the kids and as little work as possible for the adults.  I had most of the week off and Adrian had three days off.  Wednesday he went and got the big kids and Erin and I took the little girls to The Butterfly Conservatory.  Anna was scared of the butterflies at first but after a couple of minutes she was on a mission to catch one:)

Thursday we had a lazy morning then spent the afternoon out doing some Geocaching.  If you haven't heard of it give it a quick google search.  It uses GPS technology to find hidden treasures.  We were introduced to this by a fellow runner and thought why not give it a try.  There are caches hidden all over the place so we downloaded the app for Adrian's blackberry and found that there were some very close to home.  We took off and found the first one fairly quickly.  The second we never found but think it could have been moved or something.  Yesterday we went out to Woodend to try to find another but no luck:(  We did get some good hiking in though.

Today is St Patrick's Day and we plan to have some friends over this evening for some fun.  We went out this morning and bought a bunch of decorations and green stuff.  I hope everyone else is having a great day and celebrating that little bit of Irish in all of us.
