We took the boys on a short hike to find two more letterboxes (what are letterboxes? Here is an explanation). We hiked through the woods and found the first one fairly easily - the boys were happy to get their stamp in their book. We were happy to get them out on the trail to run off some energy!
Once we had stamped into the letterbox, we headed back to the main trail to find a second box. It was listed as missing, but the owner planned to replace it - so we decided to take a look.
We found the spot, but the box was missing. The boys were disappointed, but our mission to run off some energy was accomplished. We were in the area of the Chautauqua Gorge, so we took Casey Dog down to the water to see if he'd take a dip. He did chase one stick into the water, which surprised us (for being a Golden Retriever, he isn't that fond of water).
He jumped out as quickly as he could and refused to get near the water again. He spent most of our afternoon on this rock:
Matt managed to find a few fossils and we headed home - we were all happy to have seen the sunshine on the last warm day of fall (side note: it snowed on the Thursday following our hike). It seems like winter is going to descend upon us, whether we're ready for it or not!

Snow already?!
Sure looks like you had a fun day :D
We've had a little! Today was absolutely gorgeous, though - sunny and 65 degrees!!!
I know the snow will start flying again soon, but we'll take the sunny days when we can get them!
