What do I call this one? Mining.....

Here, Granddad, Alley, Alexa and Audrey are on a search for rocks.

Here Granddad is chipping away at the mound of rock jetting out of the ground. (We probably had a lot of that when we had to blast a portion of the basement when building the house.)


On the search for more......

Alley is holding one of the rocks found on our property. I think it's limestone, but don't know what they determined.

On the left of the board is a bunch of rocks they found here on our property. They washed and scrubbed them so they could look at them closely. To the right are a rocks that granddad had given to us. They studied these with a guide book and had such a great time....they are still on my front porch... :)

I wonder where all those rocks came from. I have a distant relative that is a rock hound and his basement looks like a museum of rocks. It was really neat to see.
