Geode Beds

Right before school started my brother had a fun idea of taking the kids out to the Geode Beds.  Dan wasn't able to go but I piled the kids in the car and out to the desert we went.  We followed each other out and had a fun ride.

Here we stopped to look around at a Pony Express stop out by Simpson Springs

We enjoyed lots of dirt road (even cracked my windshield)

When we saw this sign . . . . finally

I got Caleb in the stroller so I could try and find me some good rocks

He was thrilled

The kids had their buckets full in a matter of minutes

I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but when I found one that looked like something I thought I was looking for I grabbed the hammer to give it a wack . . . . and it WAS a Geode

It was shimmery in the sun, but you can't tell in this photo

Everyone thought I was dumb for wacking at one that was not broken

Even Caleb couldn't believe it

Jacob & Penina

Britney made herself some shade and took a little break

Edris and her kiddos

Kallysta & Devyn

Jason worked hard looking for some good ones . . . . diggin the hills away

The shade that I could provide for Jacob

It was a fun day out in the desert . . . a quick last minute trip that was rather enjoyed

I can't wait to saw open my other Geodes I found to see what is inside
