Fairy Houses

Today after church, Paul, Marley and I set out to go letterboxing. I had three picked out, all in the same vicinity. One that I knew she would love was called the Woodland Fairy Houses. One problem. It also said it was down for maintenance.

The letterboxes on this hike were inspired by the book "Fairy House" that I bought for Marley back in 2005. It was after she read that book that we made a couple of fairy houses in the back yard.

On this hike there were supposed to be four fairy houses, but the letterboxes were under reconstruction. She didn't care. She wanted to see if the fairy houses were still there (and I did too). To our delight they were there, albeit a little under the weather from the winter. We plan to go back after the letterboxes are restored.

Starting out....

A totally fun day!
