Happy 99th Birthday to the National Parks Service!

It's Founders' Day at the National Park Service and they are 99 years old!  I am anxious to keep my eyes open over the next year as the parks gear up in preparation for the 100th birthday bash!

Our family loves visiting the National Parks and no trip is complete without visiting with the Rangers.  I want to be a Ranger in my next lifetime. They are a wealth of interesting and helpful information and are always more than willing to take a photo with Moffat.  This great ranger was on duty at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC.

NPS Teaching Resources

The NPS is hosts a wealth of teacher resources.  I know that I take the time to look at individual parks for lesson plans and ideas.  Additionally, please take the time to look at Teaching with Historic Places sponsored by NPS.

For more fun for the kids, the NPS hosts Webrangers, a series of educational games and activities featuring the National parks.
