Around town: September 2008 Archives

Well, it's official; our Keystone Activity Zone Kids summer challenge to find 30 letterboxes hidden in various parks around the county is over - and we got them all!!

The picture above was taken in late July or early August, by Hubby, when Sarah, he and I found the 20th in our letterbox quest. I believe this was at Kain Park, near Lake Redman.

And this one was from our very last letterbox, in Rocky Ridge out in Springettsbury Township. This one was a HIKE AND A HALF. But we did it - and the girl was so proud!

All in all, I can't say enough about this way-fun summer activity. I hope the libraries and the parks get together to do it again next year.

For the first time in... wow, I don't even want to think how long ... I'm off for a holiday!

I was off Sunday, too, so I have a rare two-day weekend. (I normally am off Sundays and Wednesdays, which is great in that it breaks up the week but not so great in that I never have two days together off.)

Anyone doing anything fun for the holiday? Going to the parade at Kiwanis Lake or up to Kipona in Harrisburg? Today is the last day you can look for letterboxes, so we will probably finish up our quest for all 30 of those (only 4 to go!)

Let me know how you spent the day - especially if you ate anything good (JO!)
