Today we took a quick adventure into the world of
letterboxing! The kids were very excited to go into the woods on an adventure. Eric and I didn't realize how much of an actual hike this trip would be. So we brought the stroller. We ditched it about 1/8 of the way and just carried Gwen the rest of the way. It was a good call.
Letterbox #1! The kids were very excited to find the first box. Inside is a stamp and a little notepad to sign your name on. It reminded me of "The Book" hike in Ellensburg.
Andrew in particular got very into the clues to find the boxes. Plus he really enjoys hiking. It was a super win-win adventure for him.
Letterbox #2! Andrew was a trooper about climbing into the bushes and on the stumps to look for the boxes. Which was good since Eric was carrying Gwen and I was attempting to not get eaten to death by mosquitoes while taking pictures.
Letterbox #3! Zane was excited to be involved but a little bit concerned about getting dirty. He was happy to carry the last one and put it back though.
My sweet kiddos on a hike. Lucy was quite scared the whole hike. She kept saying "scary, scary" when she would slip. Andrew was very sweet and held her hand on the way back to the car.
I think letterboxing is something we will try again. The little ones just liked being out and about with us but the treasure hunt was a lot of fun too!
