My brother took me and my son Geocaching for the first time this weekend. Craig had taken his daughters to find the Princess cache the weekend before and wanted to take Jimmy to find the boy's cache. It is called Play Time at Belleau Lake and has toys for boys.

***SPOILER WARNING***

If you are going to hunt this cache, don't look at the last couple pictures. I tried to keep the shots tight, but it might give away a couple hints.

So it was like a episode of Wild Kingdom in my backyard Tuesday night. I was looking out the window and saw Nummy Muffin Coco Butter (a stray cat that lives under our deck) walking by. As I watched her, I noticed that she was in stalking mode. She was obviously after something but I couldn't see what it was. I walked across the kitchen and then into the living room to get a better look out the windows. I finally saw it. It was a huge hawk. The hawk was in the process of eating a squrill that it had caught. I grabbed my camera and snuck outside for a few pictures. Nummy Muffin Coco Butter saw me coming and decided it was better to leave than o be stuck between me and a hungry hawk. Jimmy came out with me and I got a few pictures through the bushes.

Jimmy turned 6 on March 31. This is a picture from his birthday party.
