Charlie Armadillo - Adventures from a real family!
Each story in the Charlie Armadillo series is inspired by a trip we took as a family, a simple activity we did, and the wildlife we saw (or in some cases ... didn't see). We tend to select activities that are affordable for a wide range of income levels, and in many cases, free (excludes travel to the park). I hope Charlie Armadillo will spark curiosity and encourage children to spend more time outside. Perhaps they'll visit a National Park, follow in Charlie's footsteps - hike the trails, make discoveries, respect the environment, and feel like Explorers! Please enjoy some of our favorite vistaa and memories we have captured over the years in National Parks, Wildlife Refuges, and the like.
