Where's Zelda?

Spent a good four hours today volunteering at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. It's my 3rd year there and it's pretty fun. Since it's my third year, that means I get to volunteer in a specific region of the zoo if I so choose to. I got accepted into the Australia region. What do we get to do there? Clean up poop. Yes, that's right, I get to clean up after the kangaroos and koalas. I also get to clean windows and sweep and pick up trash. Today I got to make fish treats! This meant I took some containers, filled them up with water, and put half frozen fish in the water. Livin' the life!

Well after that Mother Hen and Tyrus picked me up and we were off to the Dublin Cemetery! We parked over by the cupcake shoppe and walked over to the cemetery. After we arrived at the cemetery and pulled out the clues, we discovered we could have ridden in the car to find the boxes. Oh well. Walking wouldn't kill us.
Had a nice long walk through the cemetery in search for these boxes. Ran into a tick or two (eww) and tried our best to stay secretive looking for the boxes. There were a ton of maintenance workers cleaning up the cemetery while we were there. They also took a bush that one of the boxes was hidden in before we arrived. Over all the cemetery was beautiful! So well taken care of, mausoleums built into hills, random "couches" made from stone to sit one, and plenty of trees. The only issue is... since it's well taken care of it can cause some issues for boxes. Boxes can easily go missing because of high maintenance.
The entire letterboxing adventure we were racing to save Princess Zelda. Poor Zelda trapped all alone... Even then while getting supplies and fighting our way to save her, she was no longer there! Zelda and the logbook were missing. After a long hard search for her we came up empty. Princess Zelda is still in need of saving.

While we were stamping one of the stamps into our logbooks, Tyrus stated he had an awful song stuck in his head
Mother Hen: "What song?"
Tyrus: "Catch Fire to the Rain"
Mother Hen: "Every time we go letterboxing Mc Jagger plays on the radio and is gets stuck in my head!"
As Tyrus was returning the letterbox to its hiding location Mother Hen turned to me and said, "I hear it in my sleep!"
Thankfully, I didn't have any songs stuck in my head and both Tyrus and Mother Hen spent the next search for the next box singing different parts from the songs playing through their heads. Tyrus also only knew a few lines from Catch Fire to the Rain so that was interesting.

With or without the last two boxes, this series has earned my "Llama Herd" award! Congrats Ratliff Gang and psycho smiths!

The series was well done. Nicely carved stamps, good hiding spots, neat pouches, and well thought out and written story line.

After that adventure, and on the way back to the car, we stopped by Jenni's Icecream. We got my favorite, Dark Chocolate, and scarfed it down pretty quick! We should have gotten a triple scoop rather than double scoop. Now we know! Jenni's had some really good and unique flavors but it's a bit pricey. $4.50 for double and $5.50 for triple scoop. That's in a bowl. They do have free water though!
