LETTERBOXING

This past weekend we had beautiful weather. What a joy to see the sun and feel a little bit of warmth (relatively speaking!) after such a gray, cold winter. To celebrate the coming of spring and enjoy a little family time, we decided to try, once again, letterboxing. Our good friend, Gaby, was with us as well, so the five of us set out with our letterboxing supply bag (blank notebooks, stamp pad, stamps & pens).

Eric was our navigator, reading the directions out loud and leading the way.

Each of the girls was able to locate a letterbox along our hike.

Of course we had to stop mid-way through our hike for a snack!


The main evidence that it is still winter was the frozen ponds along the trails.


However, there was some green poking through the leaves! (Okay, it's moss, not grass, but we're looking for green!)

There was also a lot of squishy mud!


The end result included: 5 stamps in each of their notebooks, 4 letterboxes found (one of the boxes had 2 stamps), 3 happy kids, 2 tired adults and 1 great day!
