December had us going on more than just a few day trips. The main reason we do these activities is to build relationships. We were able to get some free tickets for the Holiday Train of Lights on the Niles Canyon Railway. We had about 20 kids that we took on the train.
Santa made a visit on the train.
Some of the group in front of our engine.
While the kids were out of school we also took a trip to the mountains to one of the Christmas tree farms and picked out and cut a tree for the Center. Everyone got to take a few cuts on the tree.
On an earlier post we showed the younger boys and a night out playing the Wii. While they were doing that the younger girls went over to Lucy's house for a night out. They wore their pajamas, played games, had pizza and watched Mary Poppins!
Yet another fun day. . . Ken Caveney loves to do Geocaching and wanted to take kids out and show them how to do it. Gary bought a GPS and they went out looking for the cache. You use a GPS loaded with locations and you use them to find the cache (treasure). Once you find the cache you sign a book that is inside the cache. Below is one of the caches they found. We will be doing more geocaching as the kids had a blast! We really like the fact that you have to use your brain to find these things.
