So I honestly think Lettie is trying to kill me

The sad thing is shes takin Angelina and Tatum down with me! WTH!?!? So yesterday Tatum had a 1/2 day and Jay had the day off and Stryder has everyday off LOL so we decided to ditch half the kids at home with Wayne and go out letterboxing. For those of u who dont know what letterboxing is heres a link:
www.letterboxing.org
Basically people hide little books with a notebook and a handmade stamp and an ink pad in it in various places the they post clues on where to find them online. Then idiots like us go out looking for them and stamp them in a book like a log book and we stamp our stamp that we made into their book and leave it in the woods for the next idiots to find. Its really a lot of fun. Anyway we left Wayne at home with Jay, Stryder, Robyn and Josh and Lettie and I took Tatum and Angelina with us. The first one was in the cemetery in Griswold where we used to bike ride so that one was fun. The second one was in Hopefully Park where there r supposed to be 4 boxes. We couldnt find a single one! That sucked but was a really nice walk and the loud mouthes aka Tay and Angelina lol had fun! So then we figured out that on my Blackberry we could pull up the website and list and clues so we could go find some in Voluntown. Now thats a cool feature hey. If this phone is good for nothing else atleast its good for finding letterboxes! So we get gas ($3.75/gal BTW WTF!) and head to find these 4 boxes in the woods. Um yeah thats where it went down the shitter! We find the trail which we werent even sure was the trail at first but doing some research this morning definitely was the trail and we head out. First couple feet in its flooded so we ruined 4 pairs of shoes lol but we kept going. Then came the cliff we had to go up. Now keep in mind not only am I 500 pounds overweight (give or take a few hundred and YES Lettie Im going to the gym Thursday I PROMISE DAMNIT so shut the hell up!) and Ive lost track of how many knee surgeries Ive had so climbing isnt my thing but I said Im gonna go for it anyway. Well we did good. We got to the top of this cliff thing and all was fine until a damn stick under my foot rolled and I twisted my ankle. So I worked that out and we kept going but the cliff got higher and the water was below it and Angelina being my child has the grace of a walnut and kept slipping so we said ok not for kids and turned back. One swollen ankle and one ruined pair of jeans later from having to sit down and slide down the cliff and we were back at the car. Anyway now that I know it was the right trail we definitely have to try again just not after 4 days of flooding rain and not with any kids. So feeling a little defeated we headed back to town to try finding some cell service to look up some more when we realized my phone also stores pages in its cache so we still could read them without service! Another very cool feature! New clue in hand we headed off to Pachaug Forrest a place we know very well and went down the Rhododendron trail to find 2 more stamps. Now by this time its getting late so we headed back towards home. Buttonwoods Ice Cream is supposed to have one in their wall but it was missing and then right across the street from my house in the woods where the fishermen park their boats is another one. Of course being next to a cow farm we never thought hey theres gonna be a dead cow body sitting there but sure enough it was. Its just bones now but still its gross! So that was yesterdays letterboxing experience. All in all it was a fun Cousins day out!
