Sunday was the highly anticipated Lost & Found Celebration Event down near Groundspeak (Geocaching's Parent Company) headquarters. We had quite the time trying to navigate the Fremont area and find a parking space, but we got really lucky and found a spot super close-by. The Event was so well-run and you could tell that a lot of time, thought and energy had gone into the planning and execution. 

They had a great mini-scavenger hunt that allowed you to gather puzzle pieces that made a Signal the Frog necklace when you completed it. They provided a dunk tank that featured rotating Lackeys, Company Founders and fellow Review Team members in the tank. We all got a good laugh...glad that we didn't volunteer! Also in attendance was the Seattle Bubbleman, who delighted the kiddos and adults alike with his sudsy antics. There was a craft tent for the little ones and plenty of things for the big "kids" to do as well! We had a great time!

After the Event, we were invited to a private event back at Headquarters, which I have to say, was fantastic. The owners and employees opened up their workspace and offices to us, allowing us to explore and making us feel as welcome as just another member of the family. Bryan and Jeremy were both on hand for the cake cutting, speech making, and general merriness. Many of the Lackeys were there as well, making for a joyous atmosphere as we all celebrated the 10 Year Anniversary of Geocaching! 

And as an added bonus, we were surprised with our own "logo", just like the other employees of Groundspeak have. It was SO COOL to see! I love it!
