Colorado Vacation Day Six Part Two

Day Six continues...

We made our next stop at the Junior Ranger Station at Hidden Valley. The three boys took a thirty minute junior range course titled “Making Sense of Nature”. They learned about how to use their five senses to learn more about animals and their surroundings. At the end the two big boys recited a pledge to become official junior rangers. Barrett was too shy to stand with the group and do it, so he did not earn a badge. 

Learning to use their sense of hearing.

In new situations he's very protective of Barrett.

So cute.

Here they're racing.

Learning about animal habits, like hiding in holes from predators.

Learning about predatory birds and the sense of sight.

Taking the pledge. 

There's Gabe in orange in the back actually reading the pledge as he says it.

He was very proud.

Jr. Ranger Gabe.

Non-badge earning Jr. Ranger Barrett.

And that will do it for Part Two of Day Six. Even more of Day Six in the next post. So many good memories from that day!
