Letterboxing

This morning we went out with our homeschool group and went on a Letterboxing adventure. The kids had a great time. It fit in well with our science because we are learning about animal habitats. I didn't know exactly where in the forest we were going, but was pleasantly surprised when we went right by the elk they have there. It was great to see them so close!

Letterboxing was pretty neat. Lyssi is really excited to do it! We were with such a large group and we weren't sure what we were doing so we just kind of followed the crowd, but I feel ready to start doing it on our own! You can find more info at http://www.atlasquest.com/
All together our group found 4 stamps. We only got 3 of them on our book, but it was fun!

We ended up having to go home shortly after finding the last stamp. Lyssi isn't feeling 100%. Hopefully a little rest will help her out! We'll be attempting workbooks this afternoon!
Just for fun so Maizie doesn't feel left out! She had a bunch of fun, she made some new friends, and sat very well in her stroller. She has recently decided she doesn't like having her picture taken...
