Mommio: Letterboxing


Today we went to find a letterbox at a really amazing place out in the hill country in Johnson City. The place is called Benini Sculpture Ranch and it is a large family owned ranch (with beautiful views) created by an Italian artist named Benini. There is a gallery with amazing artwork and then huge sculptures all over the property. Take a look at the slideshow of all the art we saw today. There was one letterbox there found near a series of sculptures that represent fire, around a giant fire pit. The box was called Cock's Crow- after another sculpture by the same artist. Here it is!

Avery: What We Did Today




Today we went to the Zilker Park Botanical Garden. We first went letter boxing. We found four of them. My favorite letter box was the haiku one. Here is our haiku:
Hiking through Zilker, Looking for letter boxes, We're 100 Toes.
Dad and Connor made the haiku up all by themselves. I didn't like the rainy day one that much, but we did find a hitchhiker in it. On the last one we did Gabe stepped in dog poo. All of us thought it was super funny. Also we looked at lots of gardens. My favorite one was the Japanese garden. We saw lots of flowers, some trees, and lots of bamboo! There was also a fish pond. The fish were about three feet big (almost the size of me!). I loved going to Zilker Park with Grandma and Grandpa and I hope we can do it again the next time we see them.

Marney: What I Did Today


I went to Inks Lake to go letterboxing. We found two of them at Inks Lake. Gabe found both of them. We found one that is awesome, it is the smiley face one that we hid a few years ago. The other one was called Ink In The Lake. We found that one under rocks next to a tree. It was hidden good. I had a fun time letterboxing today with my Grandma and Grandpa and the rest of the family.
