    My brother would take his kids geocaching and they had such a great time finding their treasures. The twister looks super fun for adult too 😉

    What an awesome idea to paint the grass with a Twister board. That is tremendously inspiring for a fun afternoon (or several!) outside with the kids.

    Letterboxing is a lot of fun! My daughter started out doing that and still likes it a lot. She added geocaching to the mix now too.
