Lake Mead Jr. Rangers

On Friday we went to Lake Mead with Kelly and Hannah. This time we went to the visitor’s center. It is set up like a gift shop and a hands on museum with a garden and trails.

Alex and Hannah both did the Jr. Ranger booklet. Since they are under 10 they only had to do 3 activities, but we had them do all that they could do. It was nice; the park ranger really took time to talk to them and they were both so proud. They kept saying, “We’re Jr. Park Rangers!” (Many national parks have this program.)



After our Jr. Rangers were sworn in and we walked the trails we went to the lake. We went back to the same picnic area as last time. Alex and Hannah had a lot of fun digging in a pile of dirt. Sabrina didn’t want to be left out so she got a small shovel and ran around.





It was very windy and a little chilly so we did not let the kids in the water. We did go to the beach though, mainly because it was Hannah’s first time to go to Lake Mead. The older two had shovels and had fun digging in the sand. Sabrina kept trying to go into the water until I finally put her in the stroller. No, she was NOT happy with me for that.







It was a lot of fun, even though it was cold. Lake Mead is always fun.
