Our family spent yesterday afternoon enjoying the letterboxing activity for our local library system's summer reading program. The library provided each of our boys with a free booklet containing a listing of 30 parks in our county along with clues for finding a hidden box in each park. In each box is a different rubber stamp with an insect on it. The goal is to visit as many parks as you can to collect each of the different stamps in your booklet. There are prizes you can win, but our main goal is just having fun with it! Letterboxing is apparently a growing fad in this country and overseas. At www.letterboxing.org you can find history and information about letterboxing as well as clues to letterboxes in your area which you can find. If you live in my area and haven't heard about the library system's letterboxing program, visit your local library and ask for the free booklet. There's still time to enjoy the program - the boxes will be in the parks through September 12. Have fun!
