The ranger was so enthusiastic about his job and getting my grandchildren interested in the wildlife at his park. They were minimally interested at first but he got them involved by giving them a paper to complete and a drawing of their choice. After our tram tour they decided to get sworn in and then they were excited to get their passports stamped.
Sincerely,
