Happy Geocaching!!!

We have had fun geocaching (geo-cash-ing). Essentially you go around with a GPS and find caches that have little trinkets in them to trade out. The kids enjoy it and it gives us a change to get out of the house. With the end of a long winter and with finances being a little tight, geocaching is a fun free way to get some good faimly time in.

Here is a picture of Pinkerbelle and Skippy finding a cache hidden under that street light box. This type of cache is a micro-cache.

There are hundreds of thousands of caches around the world. Take a look at their website and sign up for a free account to start hunting. It's a great way to get outside and have some fun with the kids.

You can learn more at geocaching.com.

Uncle Martin Ferm-Grandma's Brother

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 02:16 PM, CDT

Today was the day. Martin left peacefully at 11:00 a.m. with Carrie by his side. Jay was nearby, and the rest of us joined in shortly. We are grateful that we were able to all be together for this transition, the six original Rock Island Ferms.

Arrangements for a family dinner on Saturday and a memorial service on Sunday are in the conceptual phase and subject to change. Details will be posted as soon as they are finalized.

Thanks again for your love and support!
