Boxing in Houston

Lucy Locket and I decided to spend Spring break boxing. Is there anything else to do that is
SO much fun? We headed out to Houston Sunday afternoon with our back packs filled with clues and plenty of boxing logs and ink. We made a quick stop in Lufkin to locate Adazing Treasure. This was one of the coolest boxes to date! I hope it last along time:)
Heading on south, we stopped in Splendora, so I could stamp in the Katrina Prayer box. Thanks Frye Team for a reminder of the tragedy that swept through our neighboring states.
We wanted to get an early start on Monday morning, so we drove to West Houston where we would start our trail. There were bad storms that night but, of course this did not deter the Texas Music Boxers! With excitement we went down to check out of the hotel and eat breakfast. The lady at the desk suggested we stay at the hotel a while longer because there was another bad storm passing through. The rain, thunder and lightening came down, so we waited for it to pass. As soon as it was clear, we drove north to Bane Park where we found a Texas Snowman that was still solid in spite of the warm weather. Back in October of 2005 we found Mother of Five’s Mr. Bones and wanted desperately to find her snowman. We were not disappointed! I love the way MO5 did these two boxes. While there we also found Wile E. Coyote, and Gleeful Grinch. This is a nice park and we had a great time finding them and stamping in while holding our umbrellas. The rain tried it’s best to stop us in our tracks, we were determined!
Leaving Bane Park, we headed south to The Houston Arboretum and Nature Trail. I LOVE places like this!! It is unique and a great place to take the kids and enjoy nature. While there, we saw two Wood Ducks, a snake, butterflies and lots of spider webs! The meadow was one of my favorites. It’s interesting how God has designed nature to replenish itself after being destroyed! It does take a lot of time.
The rain was beginning to move on and so did we. We headed to Taylor Park which is a very interesting (and primitive) park. This is where we found Birds of a Feather’s circus Series. Lucy and I were looking forward to getting this set. We were not disappointed! The only problem, was there were two animals that decided to escape their boxes and run away. Hopefully they will be found. Also, in the park was Runs for Chocolate’s Seven. A tribute to Lance Armstrong. We did replaced the bag on in this one as it was wet, but the log book and stamp were fine.
Tired and ready to get to Galveston where there were some more great boxes. We left Houston with a smile on our faces and great stamps in our log books!
