Yesterday was the 98th birthday of the National Park Service.  I thought it was today, but I was wrong.  Oh well, Happy Birthday National Park  Service!  One of my favorite things on earth other than making cookies is visiting National Parks.  My husband and I have the lofty goal of visiting all the National Parks and National Monuments before we die.  We have a pretty good start so far, but still have many to visit.  I have some photo of our National Park adventures.  As you will see, we were taking selfies before they were called that.  I don't have a favorite National Park they are all great in their own way.  When I'm in a National Park, that one is my favorite.   How many National Parks have you visited?  Which one is your favorite? 

To make this cookie, I used this shield cookie cutter and then used a knife to create a jagged edge.  I added some extra dough to the top to make the arrowhead complete.  I had left-over orange and green icing and darkened them with terracotta and forest green food coloring gel.  Then I just replicated the logo free-hand.  I didn't recreate all the detail in the logo - I didn't want it to be perfect.  Happy belated birthday National Park Service!
