Letterboxing

We decided to start doing letterboxing as a family as a fun inexpensive
activity we could do this summer. If you don't know what it is you can go
to http://www.letterboxing.org/ to find out more info. Basically there
are these boxes hidden all over North America. Each box contains a stamp.
We bought the kids there owns sketch books to use for stamping. You
follow clues to find a hidden box and stamp your book, you also have
a family stamp that you use in a book located within each box, so people
can see who has found that box, and where they are from. The kids thought
it was a great adventure as we found our first 2 letterboxes today.
We plan on taking many trips this summer to get as many stamps in our
books as we can. Try it with your families I'm sure they will enjoy it.
Make sure you read the FAQ's so you know exactly how it's done.
