Rockhounds


Here is a shot of Claire and I as we hiked Pass Creek Gorge in the Challis National Forest last weekend. Claire is really good at finding agates--they are shiny and green! Daddy found some great chrinoid fossils as well as ancient seabed life and Hooma found some huge quartz shafts. Hannah mostly danced up and down the hillsides, but she took time out to locate some nice jasper specimens. It was a great Spring day--warm and fresh with enough cloud cover to shade the pale princesses among our bunch.

I love this picture of you! Out and about with your little bundle and big smiles. Reminding all of us to get outdoors. Thanks for all the service to your mom and the family.
