The boys first national park!

The boys visited Carl Sandburg's last home in Flat Rock, NC on the way to Grandparents Ohio. The goats were raised by Mrs. Sandburg. She raised champion goats that produced much milk and she ran a commercial goat dairy.

The boys did well in the house, with only a few trips of the brown carpet. The contents of the house are the same as shortly after Mr. Sandburg passed away. We got to see all 9 bedrooms and most of the rest of the house.

They enjoyed the paths and the goats more then the house. Tyler really enjoyed the goats and petted many of them. Will looked at the goats but didn't pet any of the goats, but did pet a small dog in the parking lot. A lot of the locals were walking their dogs on the paths. Dogs must be on a leash and most of the owners had their dogs sit as we walked towards them. Will stated I like little dogs, and Tyler said he liked all dogs.

The boys now each have a Passport to your National Parks and Kids' Passport Companion Set. The kids companion has a checklist for the parks, by type and places to record all sorts of observations. To check it out go here:
