Story

Shawn and I took the younger kids to the visitor center while the rest of the group hiked another trail. The kids were only entertained with the exhibits for so long, so we went outside and played a balance obstacle course at the picnic area. Everyone tried to race around the curb as fast as they could without falling off.
