Easter Weekend has come and gone. It was a busy weekend but we all had fun!Friday we spent the day doing some Geocaching around Rhinelander - this kids had fun finding the caches for this year's Winter Warrior challenge. Some of the caches were fairly easy to find, tohers, not so easy! One of them was so small that I actually touched it AND picked it up without even realizing it was what I was looking for!! We found a total of 7 of the caches in Rhinelander, now we just had to find a few in Boulder Junction and St Germain. Those are on the agenda for tomorrow!
Saturday we made the drive up to Boulder Junction where the Chamber was sponsoring an 
Easter Geocaching event! Darrin decided that he had to team up with Papa and find all the caches before us. It was a sunny but yet chilly day, but it was nice to get outside and enjoy the sun! Each of the caches was fairly easy to find (as long as you went the right way to get to it!) as it was a ice cream bucket filled with plastic easter eggs! Each cache contained a different color egg. The mission was to find all 12 different colored eggs. They even had some special Gold eggs hidden inside soem of the caches. We spent a lot of time laughing at ourselves falling through the knee deep (and sometimes higher) snow to get to the eggs! In the end we got a lot of great photos, had some great laughs and met some new friends!

We also comleted our Winter Warrior Cache card through the local Chamber offices! Darrin and Papa are going during the week on afternoon to turn in our cards. In total, counting the caches at the event, we found 24 caches this weekend! We have decided that we are going to try to spend more time caching this year - the last few years have been pretty busy and we just never made the time for it! Have you ever tried having an easter egg hunt while there is still snow on the ground? This year we knew that the Easter Bunny was going to have fun trying to hide the kids eggs without 
leaving trails right to the eggs - there was still piles of snow in Uncle Mike's back yard! Not to mention the fact that he had to work hard to figure out where to hide the 178 eggs that he hid for the kids! Yes that is right, the Easter Bunny hid 178 eggs - both inside Uncle Mike's house as well as around his yard! That bunny got creative as there were eggs hanging from trees, lights and the gutters, as well as in foot print around the yard, in the deer feed sacks and anywhere else that he could think of! In the end, the kids found all but 6 of the eggs. We all started making bets on the date that Uncle Mike will see easter eggs in his yard
