Dad had this week off from teaching while Garth taught the electronics part of the course. It was nice for him to have some down-time after teaching for five weeks straight. Even though Dad was not working, I still went to my exercise classes. I didn't want to even take a week off since I have been doing so well at keeping up with them. I did, however, skip my Tai Chi class on Wednesday and dad and I went geocaching for the day. We were able to pick up a bunch more travel bugs to bring back to either Hervey Bay or Canada, so we were happy about that success.
Great hiding spot - the geocache was actually part of the rock - the cache owner had drilled a hole in the bottom of the rock and put the cache container in the hole

Dad went geocaching on his own while I was at my Senior's Circuit exercise class - the first find is the little white pill bottle behind the metal box in the middle of this photo
This geocache was really tricky - the container was magnetized to the bottom of that support rail (see photo below of the support rail)
Another tricky geocache - this container below was inside the hand rail for a set of steps on a walking path - the container is sticking out of the hand rail in the above picture
Dad and I went out for lunch after my class and his geocaching - we shared this yummy meat pie, mashed potatoes and peas lunch - delicious!
Dad and I went geocaching again after lunch and ended up having to go on quite a walk to find this one (700 metres each way) - it was bit of a difficult walk as a lot of the path to the geocache was sandy and we were wearing running shoes (instead of bare feet) as we were in the bush and you never know what creatures are lurking there 😳 The cache was a treasure trove of travel bugs as well, so it was well worth the walk
On Saturday, Garth said he was going to drive to a nice place called Hillary's Boat Harbour just for something to do and asked us if we would like to join him. We thought it would be a nice day out and so off we went together. It was a beautiful day, too - sunny, warm, blue skies - you know...the norm for here. 😊 We were even able to do a geocache with Garth - he wants to be able to do it with his kids, so we looked up where we could find one close to Hillary's and made that our final stop for the day. After a bit of searching, I found it and then Dad found it and then Garth. It even had a travel bug in it which was a bonus!
