And now we have a field guide to tell us who done it.
Pictured here is what we think is bobcat poop. Or it could have been a bear because we actually spotted one not too far from where the droppings were found.

Junior Ranger Program

There is no better place to take children than National Parks. These are our favorite vacations because they are relatively inexpensive, educational, active, and awe inspiring.
The kids especially enjoy participating in the Junior Ranger Programs. They are given a booklet with games and assignments and are then rewarded with a Junior Ranger badge after they report back to a ranger. Upon receiving their badge they pledge to respect the nature and help protect the National Parks.

Look who joined us

Flat Stanley came all the way from a 1st grade class in South Philly to join the adventure. We hope he has fun.
Take II

cooking
My very kind and experienced sister took a look at that previous post and declared through the cell phone"Whoa - that is a ton of coals! You broiled it".
This time I used less coals but maybe not enough. The cornbread was cooked but not browned. It was good but not perfect. I'm running out of ingredients but have what is needed for a breakfast casserole. Should I go for it one last time?

Apple CRISP!!!!!
There are a few dutch oven gurus in my family so I thought it was time to give it a try.
Not only did I burn it badly but I also forgot to add the sugar. What a great flop! We peeled off the black crust and tried serving it with honey but it could not compete with the S'mores.
I've saved it though and am just hoping someone will eat it for breakfast. The best thing about a flop is it makes the success that much sweeter. The apples are running low but I'm ready to try cornbread or a breakfast casserole.

We made it to my brother Rick's mountain cabin in CA and it is fun! So much fun that the kids are covered head to toe in dirt by bedtime.
There was a community yard sale and of course I couldn't resist. Each child got a few items of clothing that they could wear out by week's end. I particularly love these handmade Amish outfits for the two youngest, there were even some size 4 black leather keds for Henry to complete the look. Clara's dress has a pocket that is now full of smushed flowers and pine cones. Both children were literally rolling in the dirt but the clothes don't look so bad, what a great uniform!
Speaking of uniforms the older boys begged me to buy them these camo bibs from Cabellas. I didn't give in but now I'm thinking it'd be nice for even me to have a pair because rustic living can get messy.
