OMG I feel so old looking at the pictures of them. They have gotten so big since then.

We have cached with the Ozzy's numerous times and the boys have a fire about them when they are on the trail. I think its about time to plan another road trip and they are old enough to drive, so maybe mom and dad can play video games in the backseat instead.

I know I have enjoyed some of the caches this family has put out! (not sure if the kids are the evil ones, or the parents!) Enjoyed reading about you guys!

It has always been fun to talk with you guys at an event or on the trail. I remember our trip to the Bling Trail well. It rained a bunch but we had a great time.

Awesome spotlight Christopher and Robert! It is so cool to read about the two of you!
Good luck to both of you on the ball field this spring!
