Family Fun Day

Chelsey and I both had the day off today so we had a family fun day. I was allowed to pick the activity so it was decided we would go to Manning Park and find a Geocache. This served many purposes as we were also able to check another park of our list on our quest to do the 50 Things to do in BC Before You Die. I had taken the kids Geocaching this past weekend as there are a couple in our neighbourhood and they really liked it as we called it treasure hunting. Today we spent 3.5 hours and hiked just over 10km but did not find our treasure. I had veered us off course slightly and we had to double back which took up some time. We made it within 50 meters of our target but the kids were getting too tired that we were unable to bushwack a bit and find the treasure. We told the kids a Troll beat us to it and high tailed it back to the truck as it was starting to snow. Everybody, even Chelsey, had a good time in the outdoors and considering the distance travelled the kids did really well. Here are 30 pictures from our day and I hope you like them.

We were throwing rocks to break the ice but when the rocks would skid across the ice it would make a really cool noise; i suggest you try it!

Were we supposed to turn back there?
