Fortress of Solitude Cache

Second cache on our lunchtime treasure hunting adventure, called Fortress of Solitude. *insert spooky music here* The GPS is right on pointing to this one’s location, so we bound out of the truck down to the spot.

Adventure – Childrens Music Theatre

Grant, Jenny’s nephew was in a children’s musical yesterday, titled Horton Hears a Who, and he did such a good job! All the kids did, it was so cute! At the end of the play, adults got to join them on stage for a reprise of the main song and a game of freeze dance. [...]
