The Almeida family has moved to Raising Maine. They still will be exploring Maine's outdoors, creating crafty projects and casting chickens in homemade videos. But you will see it all in their new blog.

An impromtu dad game

Yesterday we drove to Topsham to drop off some projects the kids made for the exhibit hall at the Topsham Fair (the fair opens tomorrow and runs through next Saturday).

Realizing it was going to take a while for the tags to be printed by the hall officials for their exhibits, I asked Fino to take the girls outside to grab a snack from the car. I knew they'd get antsy waiting around with me.

Everything for the exhibit hall was settled about 20 minutes later so I went in search of Fino and the kids and found them running around and laughing under one of the tents.

Bless those dads, they come up with things moms would never think to do.

Case in point -- flip-flop frisbee.

We found your column by accident while looking up how to carve stamps for letterboxing. Then we went out out in our hometown and found five our first day. My kids were beyond excited to see Robot Bunny had been there first! We hadn't realized it was a local column as we read through it. Our last find was Smiling Dragon! We now are followers of your writing!!

We found a cluster of letterboxes in the Gorham area because they seemed the easiest to get started with the game. You must have made your way through that area too :)
