We went on our very first letterboxing adventure today. Everyone had a blast. The location was next to the West Side Y. So after hiking to the treasure site we were able to cool off in the Y pool. It just doesn't get any better than that!
Even the little guys loved it. They enjoyed looking for the clues. These particular clues were perfect. Not to hard, but clever enough to require a little thinking on our part. Grace did great at figuring out what the clues meant. She never ceases to amaze me.
This is what the letter box looked like once we opened it. They had very cute, homemade stamp. Several people had visited the box before us. It was cool to read the comments left behind and see everyone else's stamps.
We were very careful to leave the box better than we found it! The kids insisted on putting these sticks on the rocks over the hidden box. Because everyone knows, X marks the spot. We absolutely loved this activity and we are looking forward to our next treasure hunt.
