Boys & Rocks - June 16, 2009

So Grandma has started a rock collection, and not just any ordinary rock collection but one that involves finding rocks from everywhere. And she wants to have rocks for each of her children and grandchildren. She all ready had rocks that Grandpa brought back from his Dad's house after he passed away...so we decided to go to up a rock store in Seattle to let the boys well be boys and pick some rocks. Sounds boring but it was quite enjoyable actually, the boys liked examining all the rocks and finding the perfect one for their rock. They are now arranged in Grandma's flower garden and eventually I will get pictures by each one. Since we went up there, Grandma has collected rocks from the beach in Westport WA, Erie PA and Montana (right off the HWY while she was driving to pick up Sierra from School) It has added an extra special touch to the garden, and Colin is quite able to tell you where most of them our from and Conner loves helping Grandma arrange them.
Grandma, Corbin, Colin and Conner....they got so dirty.

    Ya - tell mom thanks a lot. Both my kids are now obsessed with rocks. I finally gave Anne a old icecream bucket to keep all her "I have to keep" rocks.

    At least your rocks are in a flowerbed. My boys keep theirs on their windowsill!

    Mercy and I ran into your mom yesterday at Education Week. It was fun to see her. She's supposed to bring you a hug from me. :-)
