(from July 30)We spent the day yesterday lying around in the air conditioning trying to recover from our trip this weekend. We had a great time even though it was very hot and humid! We went to Rockford with Nitrocat and met a couple of her letterboxing friends, Pastor's Wife and Prairie Dog. Pastor's Wife lives near Rockford and took us all around to find some really neat boxes.
I really liked it at the Sinnissippi Gardens near the Rock River. There were modern sculptures throughout the park, as well as a rose garden and greenhouses. The red sculpture is just called Symbol and the other is the Rockford Crab. Pinkie Poo liked the floral clock there too.
We saw lots of wildlife, including two fawns, a Bald Eagle, a Barred Owl and a Great Horned Owl (the birds were in cages), and butterflies everywhere!
We found 17 boxes in all, including one with a cuckoo clue. The stamps were all fantastic, and one of them had a funny story about someone falling in the hole of an outhouse!
It was a wonderful day and we got home just as it got dark.
Nitrocat picked up the book about Silverwing and we are going to start reading it tonight. She said we will start working on our night time box this week.
Until later,
