Letter Boxing

During Easter, on April 11, this year we did a thing called Letter-Boxing. It was introduced to us by my cousin Kate. What I call it is stamp hunting. You can go through out the U.S. and find these boxes with stamps in them. In these boxes there is a stamp and a stamp book. You also have your own stamp and stamp book. Once you find the box, you stamp your stamp in their stamp book, and you stamp the other stamp in your book. Have I confused you yet? I was very confused myself when Kate and Mandy tried to explain this to me. If you want to learn more about it and where the stamps and clues are go to the web site www.letterboxing.org.

From June 6-15 I went to Idaho with Carol. We stayed with her cousin Ann. Ann is the Relief Society president. She took us to an enrichment. Lo an Behold, What Where They Doing? LETTER-BOXING, on a much smaller scale. We Went to a ladies house and hunted for the boxes in her yard. It was a gigantic yard and house.
