Birthdays
Andrew's 19th birthday came and went in October. He has reached that age where birthdays are not the big deal that they were when you were a kid. We had a good blow-out party for his 18th birthday. For his 19th birthday we had a family get together (including grandmas and aunts) for a nice dinner out, but it was otherwise quiet.
Hayley, on the other hand, turns 11 today. We stop the big parties at age 10, but she is having some friends spend the night. Tomorrow will feature mini golfing at Boomers in Irvine(http://www.boomersparks.com/park/irvine/mgolf.html) and sharing our new fun hobby of geocaching with her friends. We are on the hunt for a cache that had us stumped, but we have it figured out now (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=9108c28d-9292-4835-ac4a-47b048670d76). I forget what we have on the schedule for Saturday, but I'm sure it will be something else fun. This is in addition to a family dinner with grandmas, etc. that we had last weekend.
Overall, I think turning 11 is better than turning 19 in terms of birthday fun.

Ya, Tina is itching to get one. I did some pricing and researching. The lowest price for a good quality GPS was around the $125.00 to $150.00 mark.
I use one that I bought on eBay for about $70. It's an older model, but good enough to find a latitude & longitude. It works great for geocaching!
Google Earth wasn't close enough to find the Altoids box-sized cache somewhere near our library. But my Girl Scouts gave it a good try before we gave up.
So yeah - need the GPS. And I'm checking Ebay too.
