Jack Miller : YNP Junior Ranger

We took advantage of Yellowstone's free entrance week and went into the park this Saturday. When we were at the Old Faithful visitors center Jack decided that he wanted to become a YNP Junior Park Ranger and earn a wolf patch. To do this, you need to be over 5 and be able to write your name. Now, Jack is only 4, but the ranger said he could still do the program if he could write his name. Jack tried so hard, and couldn't quite write his name-but the ranger let him into the program anyways. In addition to a 15 minute video on Yellowstone, below is what Jack had to do to become an official junior park ranger.

He had to view Wildlife:



This is what he saw:


He to circle what he saw in a workbook:


He had to observe and draw Old Faithful:


He had to meet a park ranger


Receive his badges!


Jack was thrilled to be a Junior Park Ranger, but he was disappointed that we didn't see bears or Moose. But when we turned into our driveway we saw.....

MOOSE!

Jack is 4 Years Old!

Little Jack Emery Miller is growing up. He is now, officially after April 10th at 1:59 pm, a four year old.

He has anticipated this day for a long time. He is one of the youngest kids in his preschool class, and it has been bothering him that he is only three.

He had a great day, which started out with many birthday wishes from family and cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

We then traveled down to Ashton where we held his birthday party at the HFF office, so that all his friends could attend. Attend they did! Seventeen smiling little faces joined us for the celebration. Here are pictures of the big day. I just love Jack!

The Birthday Apology

Before I post pictures of Jack's fourth birthday party, he would like to share something with Uncle John and Aunt Sheena. Apparently, I have a little sneaker on my hands, I wonder where he got that from?

FYI - You will probably need to turn the volume way up to hear the sincerity.
