Junior Rangers


We spent a week doing a couple Junior Ranger packets. The first stop was Minute Man National Park. Here the kids are at Hartwell Tavern in Concord. 


They love pointing out what all of the different kitchen instruments are.

When you're a little boy, anything can turn into a musket.


Our next ranger day was in Lowell.

Our friend Gail joined us for the fun.

On the trolley back, both kids got to ring the bell.

It was super noisy, even with ear plugs.
