Day 4 - Tuesday

We started the day at Fort Clatsop National Memorial. This is a life size replica of the fort where the Lewis and Clark expedition wintered in December of 1805. They had people in costume at the fort.




My Mom had arranged in advance for each of the kids to receive a Junior Ranger Activity Book. The kids had to visit 3 sites to receive their Captain rand and 4 of the sites on the list and complete the activities in the book and then they could be sworn in as Jr. Rangers and receive their President rank. The ranger made all of the kids raise their right hand and be sworn in then he escorted them down to the fort and took their picture with one of the rangers dressed in costume.



We then headed over to Astoria to see the Astoria Column that is on Oregon's highest hill. It was an amazing view!



Next we headed to Fort Stevens state Park and explored the area. This was the fourth site the kids visited so they earned their Presidential rank.
