Everyone is invited to our home and to share a holiday meal and
some geocaching stories. We will provide the meat, you guys need to
furnish the sides and desserts. We can't wait to try all of those
old family holiday recipes. We will have some drinks but canned
sodas and kid drinks would also work out well. Here's the menu so
far.

Adult
beverages are OK but at your own discretion. We encourage anyone
who is drinking to bring their tent or blow up mattress and crash
at our place. We have 5 acres so there will be plenty of primitive
campsites available!
The
highlight of the evening, other than hearing about all of those
geocaching incidents, misfortunes and near arrests; will be the
gift exchange. If you would like to be part of this you need to
bring a gift valued at $5 or less. Please keep the adults gifts
geocaching related. The children's gifts can be anything you like.
If you have a large family like Team Red Fox (roughly 2 adults and
17 children) and you all want to be a part of the gift exchange,
you will need to bring 19 gifts. Children buy/make/create for
children...adults for adults...and for those somewhere in between
you can decide which group you want to assign yourself to. And last
but not least, everyone will know who gave what gift. Here is an
example. Anthony V shows up with a shampoo and conditioner sample
he picked up at the local motel 6. When Scott&Judy receive
their gift they will know exactly who stiffed them!
Please
wrap your gift and put your name on the
outside.
Please let
us know how many people you will show up with and what sides you
will bring. As much as we like sweet potato casserole (hint-hint)
we wouldn't like 7 different versions. Please bring your camping
chairs. We have wireless. We will add updates to this page so be
sure and watch it. If you have any questions just shoot us an
e-mail or give us a call. We hope to place several new caches in
the area for everyone to find. We'll keep you
posted!
Ms.
Teddybear and Anthony V will be bringing a Christmas pinata for all
of the kids! Thanks you guys that's a great idea!

Holiday
Ornament Contest
Make an
ornament and come hang it on our tree to get an extra smiley in
your stocking. Judging will be based upon creativity, uniqueness
and geocaching theme pertinence. We will be awarding a first place
prize.
Holiday
Song Contest
Sing your
favorite holiday tune and get another smiley in your stocking. This
will be a competition and a first place prize will be awarded. You
may sing in groups or individually. The only rule is that there
must not be any songs repeated. All those wishing to enter just
post a note and claim your song early. Ave Maria although very
pretty wouldn't sound quite the same if Cybercat was meowing it!
Below is the list and yes it is unfair that we get to pick first
and no we don't care that you really wanted jingle bells because
we've already got it! LOL!
