Official Jr. Rangers

After a good night sleep we were up and ready to go for the next day. We still had a few more things to do with the boys to complete their rangers book so that was our primary task. 
We had planned a short hike for the morning at Laurel Falls, which was just a short drive from our cabin so we had a more time in the morning. 
While we were getting things ready for our day our sweet girl got to relax and play with her brothers new toys :)
We were not able to get pictures at Laurel falls but when we got back to the visitor centers we were able to pick up some more. Part of the Jr Ranger program was to pick up some of the trash around the park. So to get a full bag we decided to go on a short hike behind the visitors center. 
It was an easy one mile journey to see Cataract Falls. We were able to get our rain jackets on for the first time during our vacation, which was a surprise because it rains here pretty often!
After we collected the litter, we headed into the visitor center for one last project. There was a scavenger hunt the boys did to identify different animals that are in the park. After going through the exhibit they were able to find all the animals they needed.
After finding the ranger they were sworn in as official Jr. rangers. They received their badges and a certificate and were rather proud of their accompaniment :)
