Mother's Day & Geo-Poker

Mother and daughters at Sugarhouse Park on Mother's Day 2010...cool enough for jackets, but at least it wasn't raining!!!

The fried chicken feast. Can you see the jar of mushroom-stuffed green olives? Delicious!

2 Barker boys, Baron and the Colby Man

Soccer Time

Posey Pitch...Autumn was the winner with her classic style.

Brie's style was also classic...can you see the whirling blue posey?

On to frisbee and more great form...can you see the spinning white frisbee?

Abram, about to toss the green frisbee. We had 2 frisbees going, so it was lots of fun. Brie and Colby joined in.

The partyers. It was a great Mother's Day for me. I didn't have to do a thing. Everyone else made all the plans and provided all the food. I just showed up and enjoyed. It's great to be a mom...thanks everyone!!

The fam cheesing it up.

The day before Mother's Day, Dad and I went to Tooele for a geocaching event called Geo-Poker. It was a nice day weather-wise and we had fun. There were 7 caches hidden around Tooele. Each cache had a deck of cards (each card in a sealed envelope) for players to choose from. Afterwards each person opened their envelopes and made their best poker hands. There were about 15 players total and prizes for the top 5 hands. Mom came in 5th place (there were some amazing hands from 7 decks) with a 9-high straight. (Dad had a pair of 3s...don't laugh, that beat some people!) Her prize was a great trackable geocoin. We met and talked to some new cachers and thought it was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday...yard work can wait.
auditcacher and eagle eye who organized the event and did all the work so we could have fun.


Mrs. Geo Idiot and Hot Mama (from Tooele)...found out they were Russell cousins!!!

Paula and prize

A closer view of the Trojan Horse trackable geocoin. Can you see the Trojan helmet "hiding" inside the horse?

Afterwards, we stopped in to see Baron at the Rent-A-Center in Tooele. Too bad he had to work all day.

It was fun to see everyone and eat some chicken. I can't believe I won with a whopping 2 points! Looks like you had fun geocaching too. Good times, noodle salad.

It was so fun to see everyone! We had such a great time (except maybe for the frisbee I took to the shin bone, hehe). Can't wait to do it again. :)
