John received a Smithsonian rock collection kit for his birthday and, boy, was he excited! It involved hammers, chisels, rocks flying, and dirt falling to the floor. Thank goodness he was wearing his safety goggles.
The kids all wanted to help him get his precious stones from the block of glued sand. They were more than a little helpful when a tiny stone appeared. Everyone wanted in on the action. John was a good sport and let them watch.
If a tool was going unused, Joe took the opportunity to pick up a fallen chunk of sand and start his own mining campaign. I think we have a family of interested rock hounds.
