Adventuring to Chili

After attending the Memorial Day Parade in Webster, honestly just because Josh was walking with the "make a difference" winners, we headed out to Chili for the day. We started at Black Creek Park looking for a cache. Unfortunately Matthew could not get a good GPS signal and we failed to find the cache after about an hour of walking/searching. We knew we were close, but with no more clues we failed to find it. :( There were in fact tons of good hiding places, dead trees and such, but also many obstacles to comfort...prickly bushes, mosquitoes, animal droppings...but we just didn't want to spend more time w/o knowing how close we were. And anyway we were headed to Adrienne's for a Memorial Day picnic. I admit I was a little apprehensive, unsure of how well we would fit in only knowing a few other guests. The discomfort was mostly for my husband, but he did just fine (just give him a frisbee and some kids to play it with). I guess I just need to get him out more. And then there's the polar opposite... Joshua, the party animal. He seems to be able to handle any social situation with aplomb. I think maybe the rest of us could take lessons from him. I just wonder sometimes where he came from...genetically speaking. But in fact we really all had a great time.
