You've heard of "Take your Child to Work Day", haven't you?
This summer I'm incredibly lucky -- Wolfman and Liesl have been coming to work with me once or twice every week, ever since school let out.
Sometimes they go on a hike first, but afterwards they help at the front desk: taking parking fees and making change, helping the other staff & me with whatever is needed, and of course, answering the 2 most ubiquitous nature-related questions:
Where are the bathrooms?
Are there any bears?
(Last year a resident volunteer wrote a whole song about this!)
The only scary part of this is (no, it's not them hiking the trails alone in bear country), but the fact that the 16-year old is doing the DRIVING!

I'd definitely be more worried about the teenage offspring driving than bears ANY day!
I joke, of course.
