We awoke to a chilly but sunny morning here in Boulder City, Nevada. We repositioned the RV so the sun came through the big windows:


We drove west for half an hour to my parents’ house in Henderson, Nevada. Waiting for us were a number of Junior Ranger badges. When we visited Fort McHenry, they didn’t give us the correct badges, so they mailed them here:

We picked up but did not complete the Underwater Explorer workbooks when we visited the Minnesota Science Museum, so we completed them on the trip and mailed them in:

We visited White Sands and Guadalupe Mountains on our 2011 trip, but didn’t complete the Junior Ranger workbooks at that time. We submitted them recently:

We visited Vermillion Cliffs National Monument in the spring of 2014, but at the time they did not have a Junior Ranger program, so we completed the newly-available workbook recently:

After stowing our Junior Ranger booty, we went to Sababa for a late lunch / early dinner:

M was exited to find this Santa-themed Coca Cola can, since we recently learned that Coca Cola is responsible for the Santa Americans are familiar with today:

Last time we were here, M and Bubbie were the same height. Sorry, Bubbie:

Guys,
Thank you so much for posting pictures of your junior ranger badges. I have been following you for awhile. I love the pictures of your park visits and your junior ranger badge pictures help me keep up with what’s new out there.
You’re welcome Todd! We hope to continue visiting NPS sites. The kids each have about 230 badges now.
