Geocaching... Success or Failure...

     I know it has been a long time since I have written, but just seems like nothing really has been going on so I just don't write!  I know I have had some funny things happen, but I can't seem to ever remember them all!!  We have been spending time going to movies, eating, and drinking, of course!  Two of the best movies we saw were Gone Girl and Equalizer.  Wow, if you need a movie to see, those are two winners!  They opened up a Fillippi's Pizza Grotto near where we live, so we decided we must try it out.  We have eaten at the original one downtown, so had to see if it was just as good.  It did not disappoint at all!  Only thing that was disappointing that night was the Aggies!!  There was a group behind us that had just won their Freshmen Volleyball Tournament.  Their families were all there having a good time.  Brought back some memories!
     I recently found out I was being inducted into the Orange Grove Sports Hall of Fame... LOL... Really is this a honor; I'm not too sure but sounds cool!!  My dad and Grandpa have already been inducted so its cool to be the third Seidel inducted!  I had a trip planned down south but missed the ceremony by a few days, so dad accepted the award for me. 

     Geoff had to go work in Camp Pendleton for a week, so I went home to see family and friends.  It was sure nice to be back in the good old South Texas for awhile!  I got to see some volleyball.  Sure was nice to get to see the girls play!  I think I was the bad luck charm though; they lost both games I got to see.  I hadn't seen Granny Liz since she had her toe removed, so it was nice to see her.  It was their anniversary, so bam I was there for that too!  Got to see Hilmer after his little accident as well.  He had to get a defibrillator put in his heart after his heart stopped and he ran into a tree.  He seemed to be doing pretty good.  I haven't been to the fair in 12 years, but had to make an appearance.  Bailey and her family were there, so in order to see them I had to go to the fair!  I even got to see her classroom; which she quickly kicked me out of for being too obnoxious!!  Sounds like me!  It was good to see all of them!  It was Kara's birthday on the weekend, so after the game we had a quick birthday drink or more.  Spent the weekend catching up, relaxing, playing with the kids, eating (cause she makes me) and beach time.  Always good to spend time with all of them.  It was nice getting back to home. 
     When I got back, I jumped right into subbing everyday.  Some days are so boring; I sit there and think is this really what I went to school for, to babysit!  It's not like I'm really teaching, just babysitting!  Oh well, easy money.  Geoff had is hail in Coronado on the beach.  The admiral has been gone so long, Geoff never was hailed.  It was a nice beach and great weather. We played cornhole, visited, and ate pulled pork and BBQ. 
     We tried Geocaching this weekend.  Now we had tried this before, but we have never have actually found one.  We are 3 for 3 in California though!!  YES FINALLY!!  It is actually fun to do; if you can actually find them!

I did get to take all 3 kids to the park alone!! Watch out and no one cried and everyone was accounted for!!  Couldn't get all three perfect but oh well!!  We had a blast!! :) 



 Trying to take a picture, since we took none! LOL
Our first Geocach found!

  1. Didn't realize that your dad and grandpa were also in the OG Hall of Fame. What a special legacy! It was also interesting to me that the certificate said Volleyball and Basketball and didn't include Track. My dad always talked about how fast you were. Then again, he was probably at more track meets with you than other sports. Be proud! Not many of us are Hall of Famers :)
