Letterboxing
Have you ever heard of Letterboxing? I hadn't either until a friend posted it on her blog a while back. I have been waiting for a good weekend to attempt it with the kids. Basically, it is like a scavenger/treasure hunt. People have hidden these boxes all over the country and posted clues online for how to find them. You get a stamp and a little notebook and when you find a box, you will discover another stamp and notebook inside. You stamp their book so they know you were there and stamp your own book with their stamp so you know that you found it. We did 4 of them today and it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be! Cameron totally got into it and was begging to keep looking for more. We also found some new spots for hikes with the kids. If you're interested, this and this are the websites. If you go searching, look for the monkey stamp from the "5 Silly Monkeys," that was us!
