On Cole's Birthday we woke up to presents while a Pear French Toast casserole baked in the oven!
Caden enjoyed Cole's presents as much as Cole did
After some birthday playtime we then headed off for our first geocaching adventure! But first we had to fuel up with some lunch! We used one of our loco local coupons at a Manchester Pub.
Seriously? Do you see what is wrong with these pictures? They give the kids milk in beer cups, and Rob and I get water in Pepsi cups! I thought that was funny.
After we ate our lunch we drove up to Lake Massabesic, where we had already chosen our Geocache trail. We chose a trail on the short side so that if we had time we could then find another one closer to home. (We never did get to do another one, the rest of the day flew by and the kids were wiped!) The kids picked out their walking sticks, which doubled as swords for the boys. But first Cora had to collect some rocks?
Daddy and his birthday boy!
The clue to find the box was up a hill in a stump. They weren't kidding, the angle of the ground was so steep even I had trouble standing. The GPS was telling us we were off in location by 40 feet. Cora fell down so I bent down to pick her up and when I stood up.. I was looking straight at the box! We found it! (phew! how disappointing would it have been had we not?!) And I'll be honest here, it wasn't in a stump, more of a notch in a tree, just saying! Since Cole was the birthday boy he got to get the box out and open it.
We chose the Geocache "Tiny Turtles" so we brought a small orange turtle, and traded it for a small brown one.
Here they are! Celebrating the find with a big thumbs up... and Cole shows off our new tiny turtle.
Cole.. on location. See? Totally not a stump since a tree is growing straight up out of it!!
Mom and her birthday boy! How did he grow to be 4 so quickly?! Happy birthday Cole-bear! I hope you felt special on your day! I think we all had fun on our treasure hunt. I can see more geocaching in our future! It is something you can do anywhere you are! So fun.

Nice post for Cole. I hope he did feel special!! I like the picture of Cole with Rob walking away from you. Almost 1/2 his size. Makes you really wonder when he is 16 if he will be taller than Dad! Very possible!!
