Canada, Ohio, And All The Detours In Between

I realize it's been a while since I've posted but it's been a bit busy on this end of things. The summer was quite eventful to say the least. We went up to Canada to visit a few friends and had a blast. Did a little geocaching while we were there and just generally thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was very laid back and I got to see my boys that aren't so little any more.




After Canada we headed down to Ohio to visit family there.  Had a blast.  Again, very low key, no stress, kick back, relax, and enjoy ourselves and some good company kind of time.  Did a little more geocaching and found a few interesting things and places that we might not have otherwise found. 




I also got to introduce 3 members of the family to geocaching as well and they just loved it. 


So the day before we were to leave coming back home we were out caching and we went to search in a location that we suspected a cache to be.  While going down for a closer look I fell and broke my ankle extending the trip an additional week. 




Didn't exactly turn out the way we had hoped but we had fun anyway.  Being there an extra week meant that we got to be there for our niece's birthday so it was all good.



So even though our trip had a bump or two along the way, we enjoyed ourselves and those that were around us immensely. 

We've become quite accustomed to life's detours, which we have come to see as the scenic route.  This summer we also learned it is apparently no different when it comes to having children for us.  So it's going to be a while before you see such an announcement, but when we are finally blessed, it will allow us to cherish the experience that much more.

Okay. I really just need to come with you on a geocaching adventure to really understand it.

BUT, I will wait until the weather is a bit milder. ;o)


Hope your ankle is healed!!!

I will have to let you know next time I am in T-town and have some time. It's really fun and always interesting. Or - you can always use it as an excuse to come see me. It's perfect for this time of year.
