My mom lives close to so many neat places, but
unfortunately when we are in town visiting, we rarely get to act
like "tourists" and visit all of the local sights. This is where Camp
Grandma is different!
This morning we stopped by the Carl Sandburg Home to see "Rootabaga!", a production of Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories set
to music and performed by the cast and directors of The Vagabond School
of the Drama, an apprentice program of the Flat Rock Playhouse.
After a bit of a hike to the top of the mountain (wishing that I had packed the jogging stroller), we arrived at the house...
and took a seat in the outdoor amphitheater.
The show was as entertaining as always...
and I was happy to pop into the bookstore and grab my own copy of the classic stories, as well as a great Appalachian ABC book.
On top of all this fun, the Carl Sandburg Home is a part of the
National Park Service...
National Park Service...
so we get to check another item off of our bucket list ~ visiting our first official National Park!
As we were leaving, a park ranger presented B with an activity booklet...
to complete & return in order to earn a badge & be sworn in as an official Junior Ranger!
