So, I mentioned geocaching a bit in an earlier post. What that is, see, is people go and bury "treasure" and post the exact coordinates at the official website (http://www.geocaching.com/). Then others use a GPS to find the treasure. Once you've located it, 
you take one item from the cache, leave one (or more) item (s), and then enter your name, date, what you took & what you left into the logbook. We went to two different sites, which was rather fun but not something I would do all the time. I went to the website today and apparently there are about 9,900 caches within the city of Long Beach. Whoda thunk it? The picture to the right is at the first one we found. Quartz took a small hand-held game, and Andrea left a tiger purse. At the second site Quartz took a little plastic ammo holder which he is going to use for blowing bubbles, and Ralph & I left a fridge magnet we got in Virginia and a dollar bill.

Can't believe I forgot to mention this. Andrea is pregnant again, expecting in November. I hope it's a girl this time; there are lots of good knitting patterns for girls and hardly anything for boys. By the time the baby is born Quartz will be just a couple months past his fourth birthday, and Onyx will be two years, four months. She & Wes are excited about the new baby, but it sounds like so much work to me--three kids under the age of five, yikes!
Speaking of babies, here is a short video of the baby owls that we saw in Blythe, CA on the last day of our trip. The ranger said they were a couple weeks old. Not sure how many there are in the nest total; we only saw two. Fuzzy little buggers, aren't they? Mama Owl kept a very close eye on both the babies and on Ralph & me.
Lastly for tonight, here's a shot of Onyx at the Deer Park, with th
e semi-albino peacock in the background. Not the best photo in the world, but for some reason we didn't seem to get a lot of pictures of the kids. Strange, since I had intended to get lots of pictures of all the Landakers since we have so few.
So few Landakers, or so few pictures of them? :-)
