Our trip to Rochester NY!

We went to Rochester for Labor Day weekend. We've been wanting to get there to meet Crazyolis for several months and just haven't been able to until now :-)
We spent the entire day Saturday, August 30th letterboxing with Crazyolis. They are a fun bunch. We found 11 boxes with them and had a picnic in the park where we found 5 boxes.


Here's Robin on one of the sculptures we saw while trying to find a box...unfortunately we didn't find the box, but these sculptures were really cool looking!




Saturday night we stayed at East Avenue Inn, that hotel was nice. Robin wanted to sleep in the bed, so we let him. The bed was way too big for him, but he didn't care LOL




When Robin got up in the morning, he wanted to watch TV, we told him to go ahead while the rest of us were showering.


Don't remember what he was watching, but he wanted to sit on top of the cooler to get a better view he said LOL


Robin comes to visit us!!



Robin is a Webkinz Treefrog, he belongs to jacks. We've been waiting for Robin to arrive. He arrived August 27th.




We did our exchanges and that night the kids wanted to go to Burger King for dinner...so we piled in the van to go to dinner & Robin insisted on coming along with us. We told him he had to stay in the van, but he didn't listen, he said he was hungry too. Although we tried to convince him that Burger King wouldn't have anything he would like, he still insisted, so we let him go in with us.




He wanted some of our food and well.....






as you can see, he helped us with our dinner :-)



When we left the restaurant, Robin wanted to sit on the dashboard of the van on the way home.


The sky was absolutely gorgeous!! Robin looked like he was mesmerized by it, doesn't he? Ok, so you can't really see him in the picture, but he's there LOL
We're heading to Rochester to meet Crazyolis and do some letterboxing with them...can't wait :-)

Another buddy came to visit!!

Nuts the Squirrel arrived July 28, 2008. His owner Lilac Butterfly was kind enough to let him come to NY to visit us for awhile. He met Flat Buddy and did all his letterboxing with him as well since they were both with us at the same time.




We found lots of boxes with both Flat Buddy and Nuts the Squirrel.



Here they are putting the Scott Couchman Memorial box back in its hiding spot!



Here they are stamping into a box into Rebel Boxer's Tribute to AQ's Best Boxes...there were lots of ducks around there :-)















They even got to be first finders with us at several new boxes in Sharon Springs, including the one that was planted behind the one room school house. We had to have a picture of them there!















Here they are inside the schoolhouse, it was pretty cool looking in there. We couldn't go all the way in, they had a 'window' blocking off the room, but was full length so you could see everything.


Out back was a 3 stall outhouse! That was really cool, never seen one that had 3 stalls to it. There's Flat Buddy & Nuts the Squirrel hanging onto the door knob, can you see them?
