First Box Found and the Start of Something Big?

We are happy to report that we have located our first letterbox in Frying Pan Park in Herndon VA!  What fun!  Unfortunately, being really new at this, we forgot a pen or pencil to mark our stamps or leave a message.  So, I will leave it here:
 
Great clues!  The kids had a blast jumping over the horse jumps, rocks and crossing the stream (which did have water in it due to the long awaited recent rains)
 
One of the best things, we discovered a whole other part of a park we have been going to for five years!  The new playground is a great improvement over the old rusty "slide of death."
 
Now we have to get going and buy some more stamps so we can set out our own boxes (I say buy and not carve because my kids are very young and the thought of them with exacto knives is truly scary!)
 
Thanks again!  Nancy
