outdoor activity — MomStart

Any day is really a great day to get out and Geocache, but geocaching isn’t just about locating caches, there is a whole community in geocaching and in our area there are events almost every weekend such as meals – BBQs, potlucks, meet and eats; clean-up projects; and cach-aversary or holiday parties. On Saturday, August 20, 2011 my family attended Groundspeak’s Block Party (GC2FYVM) in the Fremont Neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. This is a local event for us as we live in the Seattle area which just so happens to be the home of Groundspeak.

At this event there was a scavenger hunt of tasks. We had coordinates that led us to tasks sponsored by host businesses; this year’s hosts were the community of Fremont, Theo chocolate, Evo, and Mischief Distillery. After we completed a task then we received pieces to a puzzle. When our puzzle was complete we had to bring it back to the event GZ and obtain an event trackable.

Here are some pictures of our day of fun to inspire you to play outside and geocache! You can also discover my event trackable:

About Summer:

Summer is very active in our Local MOMS Club chapter, she is the mother of two adorable active boys, and is always thinking of ways to help others. She is a friend, a wife, and always busy as all mommies are. She is very active on Facebook, addicted to Geocaching and very interested in organic and green living while cooking up a storm.

OgoSport sent us a Super Sports Disk and some darts to review and it went out of the box into my hands into my husbands hands and then I reminded him that we are not keeping it because we are donating as much of my blog as we possibly can and he made a sad face and put it back into the box for me.

Wow, that was a long sentence

ogoSport makes the hottest sports toys that I have seen in a long time. Maybe I’m not at the toy shows and in enough toy stores but I haven’t seen my husband get so excited about a Frisbee in a long time. .

My kids wanted to play with it too. It’s soft so I feel it would be completely safe for them to play with they just won’t have quite the coordination skills needed to play it right but as long as they are playing and moving and having a good time then that’s what it’s all about right. We might have to get some of these for Christmas since we’re not keeping the free ones they sent us. The middle is meshy feeling and is great for using as a racket to bounce the kushie ball back and fourth. The Super Sports Disks are more than one toy in one. They encourage fun and ingenuity.

More children need to get up and out of the house for play time. When I was a kid I was locked out of the house. My sister and I both joke how we were left outside in the Texas sun with two huge glasses of ice water and access to the hose to re-fill our cups, but my memory tells me that’s exactly how it was all joking aside.
