Letterboxing

Today the kids and I went Letterboxing. Rachel LOVED it!! Ben was asleep most of the time but enjoyed a bit of a walk in the woods and Rebecca, well she is good all the time.
We found 4 letterboxes, all in Deering, and all simple. It was a great introduction to the sport. It was also fun to look at all the other stamps from people who came before us. Kinda hard to imagine that these little boxes are hidden behind stones, and in logs practically in our backyards. She has asked to go again, so Chad and I are going to use this as weekend entertainment and an opportunity to hike a bit (I am out of breath already) but it will be fun for all of us.
If you are interested in Letterboxing, all you need is a notebook, a stamp and pad and, of course, the directions to the hidden treasures. They are hidden all over the US and it is a great family activity that we can do for years. Check it out! www.letterboxing.org then click on the map. Happy Hunting!
