July 20th
We had about a day to unwind in Highland, UT between the Hedges reunion and the beginning of the Olsen reunion on Monday the 21st.
While we were there we decided to search for a couple geo-caches by Matt's parent's house. We're probably the last people to hear about geo-caching but for any of you that haven't here's a quick background. A few weeks ago when Jayna's cousins were in town her Uncle Nathan told us about this relatively new activity called 'geo-caching' and we went and found a few in Ahwatukee. It's basically just little containers that people hide all over and then list the GPS coordinates on the internet so that other people can find the 'caches'. Sometimes there's things in the container that you can take and place in another geo-cache, sometimes you can leave something in them, and sometimes you just sign a paper (log) that lists all the people who have found it. So it sounds a little weird but it's actually pretty fun to find the coordinates and then the caches. We talked the whole family into going on a walk with us to find some that were within walking distance of Matt's parents house.
Here's the whole crew heading out from the house - Becca, Andy, Curt, John, Nate, and all the grandkids.
Shaylin enjoyed the stroller ride. You can't tell from the picture but Mitzi (Matt's mom) is actually pulling her backwards up the hill.
Shaylin was able to hold her weight up on these sliding handles for a second or two and then she would let go...

We found the first cache we looked for in a nearby park, but we never did find the one that was supposed to be on this corner. Here's everybody scouring the area trying to find it...
Shaylin wanted to hold her cousin Christian's hand while we walked over to the park, and being the great cousin that he is, he was nice enough to do it..

Shaylin loved teeter-tottering with her grandma and momma (Jayna's on the other side)...
She also enjoyed turning around the nauseating flower spinner thingy they have there...
