One of our summer adventures was a little Geode digging trip. While my sister and her crew were in town back in July, we set off in to the desert with no road map and just my dad for directions. Needless to say, we saw this below for HOURS.
We then came across this Pony Express stop in the middle of no where. This was pretty cool to see. This is where they'd stop to change out their horses and get food and rest.
Our little Nissan was on dirt BUMPY roads for HOURS.
We FINALLY got to the geode beds and they kiddos LOVED it. Mason and Ethan. Mason was Ethan's side kick for the entire 2 weeks they were here. Mason LOVED hanging out with his cousins.
Besides being crazy hot, the kids thought it was so neat to find their own crystals
Maya just loved the back hoe.

Grandpa had buckets for each person to fill up. Mason and his 'treasures'. Poor kid couldn't even life his haul. Can you see how red his little cheeks are?
After the geodes.., it was back in the car for a few more hours of nothing but driving. Thank goodness for fairly good kiddos and for a DVD system in our car!
