Garden and Park Boxing Adventures

Today we went letterboxing in our own neighborhood. We went to a certain bookstore for a box that should have taken us about 5 minutes to get. BUT...we LOVE bookstores!! It took us about 45 minutes to get out of there!
Then we headed to Roper Mountain Science Center. Our family has been there many times to go to the observatory and planetarium. However, today we went to the butterfly garden, the pond and the pioneer village that I never even knew existed!! Large talons got a few good opportunities to hone his photography skills there. We will definitely be back soon.
When we could finally peel ourselves away from that place we headed over to find the "Day at the Park' series in Simpsonville. We were to meet a few of our letterboxing friends there. Letterboxing is always more fun with friends! This park has a little bit of everything, including one of those fabulous water parks. Since that was not on our agenda for the day, the kids satisfied themselves with a field sprinkler!
Another fine boxing day! We sure are going to miss these days when school starts.
