Guess Who's 5 Years Old!

  Yes indeed! Cannon has turned 5, and what fun he's been having! He's become quite the mini golf enthusiast! Badges are being earned in the Junior Ranger program. With so much historical value to be found right here in the park, a guided tour through the homestead was a must. A short tour was great. But was a 3-mile hike necessary? I suppose so!
