Junior Rangers

At both Jamestown and Yorktown, the girls took on the challenge of earning a junior ranger badge.  They had to work very hard at both national parks, completing puzzles, searching for clues, and going to out of the way places.  Yorktown, in particular, was exhausting as we had to go from the battlefields to the town and back again.  Lee and I were very proud of the girls for sticking it out and earning two new badges!

It poured at Jamestown, so they took shelter in the chapel and figured out various clues.

Getting sworn in as Junior Rangers at Yorktown. This Ranger was awesome, and spent a good ten minutes talking with the girls about conservation and preservation of national parklands.  They were impressed.
