Over the weekend the girls and I went to find more letterboxes but ran into a snafu. The Fore River Sanctuary trail, which has a series of 7 letterboxes, was full of bees feasting on the overgrown flowering plants covering the trail. Normally we love hiking here but the girls were a little stressed about getting stung while wearing shorts (it was 90+ degrees). And I can't say I was too excited about the prospect either.

So back at the car I consulted our letterboxing notebook and solved a riddle for another letterbox that we believed wasn't too far away.

We found the hidden box at the location and all of us, including Bunny, had a scoop of our favorite ice cream.

Do you know where Bunny is?

It's been a while since I posted a Where's Bunny photo so here's a new one.

Yesterday we went for a hike with Bunny (and Goddard the Travel Bug, who we dropped off in a nearby geocache after our picnic) because it was another awesome day.

Do you know which mountain top Bunny is on?

It was a beautiful day and we had to get out and enjoy it. Bunny and his robot friend, Goddard the geocaching Travel Bug, came along too. They are "best robot friends" according to L.

Can you guess what we were doing today? Here's a hint, we weren't geocaching (Goddard was just along for the ride on this one) but I've written about this activity in my monthly column more than once.

The kids were happy to have Bunny pose with this statue. They stop to admire it every time we go to this particular place.

You need to name the building where this statue is located.

Do you know where Bunny is?

I'll offer a hint tomorrow if no guesses are posted today.

Bunny really gets around and he - and the rest of the family - really enjoyed this stop to "see the world." Do you know where Bunny is?

Well, I think that was the fastest guess on the Where's Bunny contest yet. DWB guess correctly. Bunny is on a moose crossing sign.

And just so everyone realizes, after someone posts the correct answer on a contest blog entry, I confirm the answer with a post of my own (on that same entry in the comments portion of the page). So if you didn't know the answers to some of the Where's Bunny photos, just check back on those previous entries and you'll find out.

Thanks to everyone for playing. At the end of the month all the winners will be placed in a drawing to win a "wicked cool" (my own quote because they really are nice) MaineToday.com beach towel!

I'll be posting another Where's Bunny photo soon so check back later.

The kids chose another road sign Bunny photo since the snowmobiling one received several posts. They are really enjoying this game.

So... can you name the road sign Bunny is on?

Do you know where Bunny is in this photo?

You have to name the town/city AND the street (or nearby business) it is on. And yes, it is certified as a real piece of the historic wall.

What road sign was Bunny on?

He was "taking a ride" on a snowmobile crossing sign.

If you haven't won yet, check back later. I still have lots of glitter pens to give away.

The kids took this photo of Bunny on a road sign (don't worry, we chose a quiet road with a sign set far off the shoulder). I've cropped the photo so you can see Bunny but not the entire road sign.

Do you know what kind of road sign this is?

I'll add a clue in the comments tomorrow if no one posts a guess today.

Exchanging Flat Stanley with other families wasn't the only inspiration for the Where's Bunny? contest. Our geocaching Travel Bugs also played a part in giving us photo ideas as well.

The kids and I have loved the photos people have taken of our Travel Bugs, particularly the ones in New Zealand. The photo of Hiking Doggie with the blue wedding cake was priceless. Not that I have a lot of experience with weddings (my own being in Vegas with Elvis), but my take on the big day for people who go through all that hoopla is not about some stranger's geocaching Travel Bug...

We have some other favorite pictures as well.

"Hey mom, Hiking Doggie is getting to meet other dogs in New Zealand! That's cool!" (you can just see him in the bottom lip of the dog)

Annika The Hiker doesn't have nearly as many photos as Hiking Doggie, but the beach shot in her gallery cracks me up.

Then there are our domestic Travel Bugs like Lilo the Swimmer. She posed for a photo a tidal pool "with a starfish hat." At the moment, she is hanging out in northern Maine on the Canadian border.

And we can't forget Ronny, who "loves to eat cheeseburgers and french fries" (a kindred spirit with the girls). He's in Vermont right now.

Not that I have to prove the point that my family is a little over-the-top (most know we are), but that there are lots of other people just like us. I mean, it's pretty funny - total strangers all over the world taking our various toys and flat, laminated characters and posing them for photos.

It's great.

Bunny and "Sister Bunny"

Earlier this week we were driving by a lake (Maine's second largest - hint, hint) and saw some ice fishing shacks. The kids wanted a closer look so we stopped. It turned out the ice glider/sailboat was what really ended up capturing their attention.

We didn't see it in action but have in the past and both girls want to try it out. Maybe next year, the ice was "groaning" and I wasn't feeling too confident venturing beyond the shore. And with warmer temps on the way, the ice will be gone really soon anyway. There's always next year - something I keep saying because this Maine winter has been so strange...

So tell me, Where is Bunny?

The kids and I were talking recently about the fact that Bunny hasn't been receiving the same kind of attention from our family that Flat Stanley friends have recently. So we decided to do something about that.

Today is the official start of the "Where's Bunny" contest. Here's how it works.

We have taken photos of Bunny around southern Maine. In the coming weeks, I will post one every few days or so to my blog.

Here's today's pic...
(You have to name the place as well as the city/town).

Oh yeah, if no one posts a guess after a day or so, I'll post a hint in the comments.

Today I'll give you the hint now, half the name's in the pic!

A photo was published in the Central Maine newspapers this morning about a pool in Waterville. My co-worker thought the picture should have included bunny. I agreed.

And Colleen, another co-worker blogged about it too.
