Welcome Home, Geotrekkin

For those who don't know, geotrekkin is our geocaching name. And last night the local cachers hosted a welcome home dinner for us. During Steve's time overseas, we received several e-mails of prayers and support from the members of our caching community. Together they planned a very nice welcome home dinner for us at a local rib place. It was absolutely wonderful getting together with everyone again and catching up.

Steve and I can not say enough about how wonderful the people are here. They are so generous and have welcomed us immediately into their group. We not only consider these people our friends, but we consider them family.

Of course, Tyler's buddy Beka was there and as always they had a fun time playing together. It is so cute to see them play with each other. Tyler just loves her so much.

They even surprised Steve by giving him a belated birthday cake and card. It was so sweet of them!!! We were also surprised to receive a signed welcome back card from everyone and a Canada Cacher pin, an American Cacher pin, and a geocoin.

After our dinner, Steve gave everyone the coordinates to a cache we had placed put didn't publish yet. It happend to be in a cemetery and it was pitch dark out. I stayed in the car with a sleeping Tyler, but it was funny to see all these cars pulled up to the cemetery and about 15 people walking in the cemetery at night. I can only imagine what the passer byers thought. LOL Anyway, it was a great way to end a fun evening spent with such wonderful people! Steve and I keep saying how much we are going to miss everyone when it is time to PCS, and last night just proved it even more!
