Napless Adventures


So our day starts WAY too early as the sun is up before 5AM now (luckily he at least slept until 6).  Then he got fussy before church so we had to try for a nap.  He got a short one and we still made it to church; very late, but we made it.  After church and lunch we tried for another nap, but he just refused to sleep.  He even opened the curtains in his room (not helping the sunny situation at all).  So we gave up and went for a drive.

We intended to check on a geocache that we had planted, but he fell asleep before we got there (the head of the trail wasn't too far from home) so we decided to let him sleep and headed out the road.  At about 30 mile there is a new parking lot access to a rocky beach (note that I say rocky!).  This lot has a handicap parking spot.  Huh?  Ok, well we planted a micro geocache there called "Handicap Parking?".  As soon as the car stopped Tait was awake again.  At least it was a short nap.

On the drive back to the first cache we wanted to work on we got talking about the entrances to the Eagle Glacier, Herbert Glacier and Windfall trails.  We thought that Herbert and Windfall started on the same trail, but there were too many parking lots and a road we hadn't seen before.  So we checked out the road (we should have seen this in the book before) and it turned out to be the beginning of the Windfall trail.  At the parking for it we realized we were about 300 ft from a cache and .4 of a mile from another.  So off we went geocaching in the afternoon sun.  Didn't find the first one though I think we should have (approached it from the wrong side without any info and hints).  Then realized the second one was actually on the Herbert trail (on the other side of the river...haha).  Another day we'll get them.

Tait, despite the lack of naps was endlessly happy while we were out and about.  He pointed at all the trees and laughed when the sun got in his eyes.  I stopped to take pics of some berries and Tait decided to try eating a leaf bud.  Silly boy (this kid is all boy)!
