Annie came over from Seattle to visit, to put on a geocaching presentation and to run Bloomsday.
She and her friends left about an hour ago heading into Spokane for the big run.
Seemed like the time flew by during their visit, but they packed plenty into every moment.
Above, Annie is showing one of the SHS students how to use her GPS to find a cache at the high school.
Overall, the seminar and practice finding caches afterward was a hit.
In fact, some kids borrowed GPS units to head out looking for caches elsewhere.
The whole family attended Annie's talk, which was coordinated by an outdoor skills club at the high school.
Teachers Willie, Malia and Alex supervised the event, and Groundspeak, Inc. from Seattle supplied GPS units for the kids to use during the program.
In addition, when the groups had found several caches while doing some "cache in-trash out" activities, Groundspeak gave away several nice prizes.
Once more, Bill and I thoroughly enjoyed the Seattle invasion. It went by all too fast.
We're both looking forward to the sun coming out sometime today and enjoying time outside doing exactly what each of us wants to do.
In Bill's case, it will probably be fishing; in mine, that long-awaited, full-fledged yard and garden work.
A horseback ride might even top off the day.
Happy May Day.
Enjoy the photos below.
