Letterbox

We had our first ever letterboxing adventure this weekend!  We printed off the clues from letterboxing.org and went over to Borderland State Park to start our search...

We climbed to the top of very large rock formations.

Maddie participated in a little log rolling.

Aidan kept it cool with some sunglasses, a specimen bag & a pointer (all very necessary hiking items).


Our trusty guide Daddy!

SUCCESS!!


This was a total blast and we'll definitely be doing more of it in the future.  Turns out there's even one hidden in the conservation land right behind our house!

By far the most impressive part was how well behaved the kids were and their endurance.  A year ago Aidan would have been begging for a shoulder ride 10 minutes in.  This year he literally jogged the last 1.5 miles.  Kurt & I got an amazing workout just trying to keep the kids in our sight! 

Up Next:  perhaps a little F. Gilbert State Forrest anyone???
