Childs Play Letterboxing Day

Hi All,
I just had to share what a wonderful LB day this was. My 3 1/2 year
old son and I headed out to Alto, Texas about 10AM for the Stone Celt
Box at the Caddoan Indian Mounds. Although the box is missing my son
declared that this place was cool and now knows what an Indian
Paintbrush flower looks like. He was totally amazed and enchanted
with this place. From there we went on to Mission Tejas. By this
time the weather was in the mid 70's and just right. Here we found 2
boxes. We toured the house and the mission and of course took a side
trip to the playground. We then traveled on to Crockett for the Davy
Crockett letterbox. My son also thought the water fountain attached
to the spring was great. We then travelled on to Ratcliff Lake for
the Pack 403 box. This spot was really great. Our plans for the day
had been to travel from here to Lufkin, Jasper, Newton, Livingston
and Romayor but due to having so much fun with my son at all of the
wonderful places we went today we didn't make it and that was just
fine with me. What a awesome thing it was to spend the day with my
son and not be on a time schedule at all. We looked at frogs, found
snails, and poked around at tree stumps with sticks. It was so
great, in fact we didn't even get home tonight until 8:30. I am so
tired but what a wonderful day I had enjoying the great outdoors with
my son and seeing the amazement on his face with each cool thing he
encountered and learned today. I am so thankful to Barefoot Lucy for
talking to our newspaper reporter and introducing us to
letterboxing.

How wonderful! My children and I had the fun of LB for the first time just
the other day. My son is 6 and daughter 10, we headed for the LadySlipper LB
on Cape Cod, MA however due to our frustration the box wasn't there. But the
walk along the cove was so worth it!
Then we decided to head for the other 2 I had printed out in local, old
cemetaries...One had rich town history and the other was next to a horse corral
(which is my daughters favorite activitiy of all time..)
We had such fun, and can you imagine that this is all free! What a
wonderful organization. I agree with you completely.

hello,
I am very nw to Letterboxing, and this list, so I do not respond often.
but your email touched me so much, what a wonderful way to start my day.....
with a warm heart.
It is great to know how letterboxing brings families together, gets them
outside, spending time together,not stuck in front of a game box, or TV, etc etc.
I hope you have many many more special days with your son.
tell your friends, and let the experience pass on to others.
make a copy of your email, and keep it safe to give to your son when he is
older, if it touched strangers, think what it will mean to him. (yes I am into
genealogy also LOL)
