Mountain Gems & Golf

You can't go to the mountains and not mine for gems, even as hokey as it is. The boys love doing this and treasure each little gem they sift out of their bucket of dirt. They carefully compare each tiny sliver of a gem to the gem chart to try to figure out what they've uncovered. They were surprised (and excited!) to dig out an amethyst geode from the bottom of each of their buckets.

We also found a little putt-putt place right next to the river at the base of the mountain. I got a hole-in-one. And Christopher "dadded" the mess out of that green.  :)
