Rock Shop


Madison's class went on a field trip today to a rock shop. It was really pretty amazing. The older couple that has the shop in their yard and garage are so sweet. They are both in their 80's and they work all year to get everything ready for this field trip. The pictures above are of her class and some of the rocks that she was given. The top left is a picture of a petrified mushroom cap that Madison won. It is now her prized posession. Also, the dionsaur is actually carved from one rock. They bought it somewhere in South America. It was carved by a 12 year old boy. It is amazing. Their collection ranged from petrified dinosaur dung and wood to every kind of rock you can think of. Each of the kids was given 3 bags of rocks to take home they were polished and cut and amazing. This couple was so cute and it was such a great opportunity.
