We have stumbled upon a great new hobby called Letterboxing. You create a Letterboxing kit which is a rubber stamp, ink pad and note pad or sketch book to log your finds. You check http://www.letterboxing.org/ for letterboxes where you live or where you are planning to visit. Each planted Letterbox has a list of clues to help you locate it. You print out your clues and follow the clues to find the box. Today we found two letterboxes at the park where we had EmmaLi's soccer banquet. After the banquet was over, the coach and her daughters and EmmaLi and I went on a short hike to find the letterboxes. We found both ot the boxes we were looking for. Inside each box you find a rubber stamp, and a pad of paper. You stamp your stamp on the pad in the letterbox, sign and date it and then use the letterbox stamp to stamp your notebook. Below are pictures of EmmaLi rehiding one of them and of her finding another.

Uncovering "Pirate Pete's Plunder".
Here is Emmie with the box after she uncovered it. After stamping everyone's notepad and the notepad in the box we replaced it and rehid it very well.
