A Fun Summer

2008-06-20T07:27:00.000-07:00

WoW, I haven't posted anything in almost a year....LOL

Well, although we haven't had a chance for much boxing these last few months I'm really excited about the summer. It holds 2 events, boxing in 4 different states, seeing an old friend who moved last year, celebrating are 2 year boxing anniversary and lots more. I'm hoping this will give us the kick start we need to get boxing again.

I can't wait to see what else will happen in the next few months!

Chillin' Out in Motown

2007-07-18T06:35:00.000-07:00

Well, last night was a lot of fun. Baby Bookworm and Toad Mon attend the Chillin' Out in Motown event. It was held at an ice cream shop so all those in attendance ate ice cream, exchanged siggy stamps, solved personal travelers and just enjoyed the night. It was the first event for many of those there and overall I think it was a fun time had by all. Thanks goes out to SunFleur for organizing it so we could meet some Michigan boxers. And to everyone who came I hope you had a good time.

In other news we had a fun time getting a few boxes in MI yesterday as well. We headed out with three non-boxers in tow, the intent was to convince them that letterboxing is awesome. We decided to shoot for "Hear the Roar" first, had a somewhat easy time finding the box, stamped in, etc... Afterwards we went to take a picture in front of a sign at the location that says "Allen Park - Home of the Detroit Lions." While we were taking it, a security guard comes up and demands to know if we have written permission from the Lions to take a picture. Our response is "What? It's just a picture..." She then goes on to tell us how she won't write us a ticket this time, but if we go past the driveway and even think about pulling our camera out she'll ticket us.
Quite an interesting experience, we were just thankful she didn't come a few minutes earlier when we were stamping into the box...LOL

After that we headed to the "Joy of the River" box. No luck in finding this one, lovely hike although I think it may have turned the newbies against boxing, because the youngest member of the family with us sprained their ankle while walking through the trees to try and find this little tupperware box we had told them was there. Oh well, what can we do? At least she wasn't injured very badly and I do think they had a decent time. We did have time for one more box after the ankle incident, we did find that one, 2/3 isn't bad for a few hours.

Postals

2007-07-03T09:54:00.000-07:00

So we joined our first postal which started in June. I don't think we'll be doing another one anytime soon. It's just confusing and trying to get them right back out again is hard. I'm sure some people enjoy them but I just don't understand how they can be a part of so many and not get them mixed up. So I guess what I'm really trying to say is that we defiantly all like traditional boxing more then postals. But the experience is fun and we will probably do another one at some point but it will have to be something we are really into.
