So we found this funnest thing to do with the kids - letterboxing. Its like a treasure hunt, you try to find a hidden book and stamp using clues that you print from the letterboxing website. When (if) you find it, you stamp your team stamp in the book and date it, showing that you found it, you also stamp your own book with the hidden stamp to keep your own record of found boxes. The kid LOVE this and so do Todd and I! It is really entertaining for all of us. The kids like that they get to be discreet so no one sees them gettting the box out and re-hiding it. They are all over, every state and area. You guys should all try it, it is so fun. These pictures are from a park right by our house where we went this last week. We also went today on a 1.5 mile hike (walk), in a state park, with the kids today where there were nine boxes along the way. It was so fun!! Nancy was here so that made it even funner! If you want to see the letterboxes near you...check them out at letterboxing.org.

Looks like you were all having a blast....It is amazing how boring we are compared to you guys.
I have heard of this before, but it was called Geocaching, and you get a little prize or a treasure when you get there...and then you leave one too. They are all over the country too, and they are rated in difficulty level.
Geocaching is the adult version I think. But what fun!! We need to do it in the fall or winter or spring here in AZ. Your backdrops look totally "picturebook". What fun.
Christi - you guys are not boring!!! I really wish I could have my kids working on their chores like you do!! :) Your clipboard is awesome and the pictures of them totally working was even better! When we are there I want to check out your system! :)
Nobody in the Daly family is boring! You guys are always go,go,go and it is so fun!! You are all so motivating! :)
Okay...well, we may not be boring, but we do things a lot differently than the Gustins!!! We went letterboxing, too...I will post about it and you will understand!
