Panning for Gems

Landon had a field trip last school year to the California Caverns and the field trip ran later than scheduled. Because of this, the 2nd graders missed the gem panning station which has always been a hit. The caverns sent them home with a baggie of dirt and rocks in which he was supposed to 'pan' to find the treasures. They also had a nice gem identification sheet so he had fun identifying each gem that he discovered. We finally pulled out the baggie today and I improvised with a kitchen strainer and a plastic storage container. It's better late than never, right? :)

This morning the Blue Angels had a 7:45am game in which we won 5-2. Liam was happy with the win but bummed that he had to spend the rest of the day working on his school's Exhibition project!
