Tammie dropped the kids (Chloe, Jamie, Jordyn & Josh) at the big shopping mall nearby (the Grand Plaza)...

I threw pool noodles for the swimmers to catch (Tammie, Jordyn and Chloe) then bowled to Jamie before dinner...

second round of the annual Yahtzee championship was held after dinner...Rachael won with Tammie second again and me third...

yesterday Tammie and I went for a caching drive...we found one I DNF'd last January (it was missing) then DNF'd the next two attempts (I think the first one was missing and the second was hard)...

then we found another five...at the third one we found, we saw people searching as we arrived...we watched for a bit then moved the car...

we walked up to them with Tammie asking if they'd lost something...too funny..we joined in the search and Tammie made the find in about 5mins...

we then introduced ourselves and found out that we were in the presence of geocaching royalty in the form of Liz and Bruce...they have made over 48000 finds all over the world!

we all (except Jamie because he wasn't feeling well) went for a swim in the afternoon then we played a game of The Game of Life (Empire version)...

I went for another ride before dinner, this time following the East West cycleway a bit further...
