Ms. Piggy's visit to Connecticut

Ms. Piggy was the first boxing buddy whom Purple Penguin and I ever hosted!  She arrived in late March 2008.  Shortly after her arrival, Polka-Cat came to visit from Fulton, MO, so the two of them shared many adventures!  One of the first things that Ms. Piggy did was to help us to color Easter Eggs.  She was very excited that we made them metallic.  I was teaching at a high school for performing arts this past year, and we took a field trip to the Windham Textile Museum in Willimantic, CT.  Ms. Piggy came along with us, and found several letterboxes there.  She helped us to plant a number of letterboxes, four in our Park & Ride series, two at our Chester Changeable location, and a couple of others.  She letterboxed at several spots in Connecticut, including seeing the Monk Parakeets in Fairfield, a couple of visits to the Mansfield Box of the Month, and the first leg of the fabulous Noah's Ark series in East Hampton.  Probably the highlight of her visit was attending Spring into Boxing 2008 in East Hartford, where she made many new friends and taught many people about boxing buddies!  Before we said good-bye, she attended our Girl Scout service unit Camporee with us, and found a final letterbox at Camp Murray in East Haven.  We hope that she had as much fun boxing with us as we did with her!
