Lettering boxing has proved to be amazingly (is that a word?) educational for our family. Compass reading, history, local government, vocabulary, pre-driving directional skills, critical thinking, and team work are just a few of the attributes we are learning. I can honestly say this may be the single most important educational decision I have made as a homeschool mom. I realize how huge of a statement that is. I also realize the implications of making a statement of that magnitude. But at this moment I believe it to be absolutely true.
Years of forcing Grace to do her math. Years of standing over Elijah forcing him to read. Years of spending hundreds of dollars on curriculum. Years of lesson planning. Now it has come to this, a money free, lesson plan free, hassle free, learning experience that my kids BEG to do. And I enjoy it, to boot! It's exactly what we homeschoolers dream of. 
This was a difficult find. But, not to hard for those Durham kids.
Although we didn't find the box at this location, we did find some really cool old train cars.
This was our last find of the day. It was a beautiful church and as soon as we had found the box the church bells began to ring. They sounded beautiful and it was the first time my children had ever heard church bells ring.
