 I think we can put to the end of the Fall activities. The leaves have all fallen off the trees and are now buried under snow. Christmas lights are popping up everywhere, Santa is in the malls, and we even saw a Christmas tree in someone’s front window. It does not matter that it is … Continue reading Outdoor Activity Challenge – Week 9  Another day geocaching and another thing to check of my life list. I have now geocached in the snow. There wasn’t enough snow on the ground to prevent me from finding some of the caches I was looking for but there was enough to add another level of challenge. Today was my day out and … Continue reading Snow Day on the Geocache Diet – Day 309  Another week has passed and our march towards the end of the fall season continues. I know I originally said we would do this for 15 weeks but it is feeling a bit more like winter out there now and the Christmas season with all it’s activities and crafts to do is practically underway. Santa arrives in town … Continue reading Fall Outdoor Activities Challenge – Week 8 The Goal: Take our partnership as parents and expand it to include working together The Reason: We make a great team and we wanted to create a balanced family life where we work together towards one common goal. The Result: It has been harder than we thought as while we work on the same things … Continue reading Challenges of Actually Working Together as we Work Together 
Another Fall Outdoors Challenge activity spent close to home. We went out on Sunday as a family to scout out an area to place some new geocaches. We hid one cache and Annika is very excited as it is her second cache she can call her own. The other caches were a little more complicated and require return … Continue reading Fall Outdoor Activities Challenge – Week 7  More random thoughts and observations from the Geocache Diet. I have two pairs of hiking boots, one for serious day hikes and walks in wet slippery conditions, and a lighter pair for shorter hikes and warmer days. The geocache diet has not been kind to my boots and they are now both trashed. It is … Continue reading Thoughts from the Geocache Diet – Day 295  Wow it’s almost been a week since our last post. We better get our butts in gear and post, post, post! On that note this one will be just a quick entry as time is going by fast and I need to start thinking of next week’s activity already. Last week we didn’t actually do … Continue reading Fall Outdoor Activities Challenge – Week 6  Here are some tidbits of wisdom and recent happenings from the FamilyNavigation crew. We have our first bone break. And the winner is…Jada!!!! Lisa is so proud of her little girl following in her fragile mothers footprints. She was my choice in the pool. Just a little green-stick fracture and she is fine but will … Continue reading Random Notes and Thoughts from FamilyNavigation  This week, with Halloween just around the corner, we predictably went to our local pumpkin patch for our weekly fall outdoor activity. This was a repeat of our less then successful trip to the patch last year when the twins were only 1.5yrs old. Last year’s story sounds like a hit country song: ’Tears in the Pumpkin Patch’. What a difference a year makes as … Continue reading Fall Outdoor Activities Challenge – Week 5  Tee Hee…giggle giggle. I was itching to get outside and go for a walk…no…a hike…and not just any old hike…but a great hike. The problem was that I also needed to do some serious geocaching and I only had the afternoon available to go. I still was unsure where to go until I checked my e-mail … Continue reading Big Bang on the Geocache Diet: Day 280  For this week’s activity we didn’t feel like going too far from home so we picked a very nice park close by where we thought we needed to spend more time in. Martin walked off ahead and the kids and I hopped into the car to meet him at the Lazo Marsh trail-head. I have been wanting to … Continue reading Fall Outdoor Activities Challenge – Week 4 I came across an article by Richard Black, environment correspondent for the BBC, called Solving Nature Loss: Child’s Play? This article introduced me to the UN Convention of Biological Diversity meetings currently taking place in Nagoya, Japan. I was intrigued by the delegates references to making real changes for the sake of future generations. This is of … Continue reading Biodiversity: Will There be Positive Change This Time?  |
