Rangers ready Area youth enjoy a recreation program offered at Sequoyah State Park. By TRAVINA COLEMANPress Staff Writer “They really are fun to be around,” Short said.
Children who brought their swim clothes changed before the boat ride, since they might get wet. “Everyone needs to wear a life jacket,” Qualls said. “No excuses. Now get in a single-file line and lets do a head count.” After heads were counted, the crew made their way to load in a park van and truck. The chitter chatter in the van was lively and excited, as the children compared boating trips. “I haven’t ever been on a boat before,” Hayden James said. “You will get sea sick and throw up,” his friend said. But of all the stories being passed in the back seat of the van, the children were up for anything. They listened carefully to the rangers as they gave instructions for safety. And no one fought the life jackets. The two pontoon boats at the marina could accommodate 11 people plus the driver, and the children already had their captains picked. “I want to go with you Byran,” one child said. And another made Hardaway his choice. One girl, Ashley Martin, of Hulbert, said she came to the program last year, but isn’t originally from the area.
