Letterboxing

Several years ago our family started a new tradition--Letterboxing. It's basically a big treasure hunt. It has taken us places that we wouldn't normally have gone, and we have seen things we wouldn't normally have seen. Most of them are outside in beautifully scenic places. It is a good way to get outside and enjoy nature, and to spend time together. The one we did today was not in beautiful or scenic place--across the street from a vet clinic--but we still had fun.

This is part of the "treasure" we were looking for--the logbook where we stamp our personal stamps in.

This is the stamp that we were looking for.

This is me stamping the stamp in my personal logbook.

This is Riley finding her own "treasure."

This is Valen posing for the camera. A side note--while posing for the picture her stamping was mussed.

This is what Justin looks like Letterboxing.

This is me, so gracefully putting the Letterbox back so that someone else can find it.

If you enjoy the outdoors and following clues, I would highly recommend this activity to you. As I said before, it gets you outdoors and find some pretty interesting places along the way. Check out the website at:
