Letterboxing... in the snow?


We found out about this super cool activity you can do called Letterboxing (www.letterboxing.org). It's great for families, it's free and awesome for the treasure-hunter in us all! And if you know anything about my husband's obsession with the movie National Treasure, you will understand my daughter's fascination with finding treasure of her own. The gist- you read online clues to a letterbox in your area (there are tons of them all over the country) and you follow the clues until you find the hidden box. Inside you find a stamp and a notepad. You mark their stamp in your notepad and vice versa as a log that you found it. It's super fun and we've done about 5 in the freezing snow and Josh insists that we wait for summer to do any more. :)

One of our first clues took us to the Fishers Train Station!

Find the treasure and making her mark!
