A Very Belated Birthday Dig

One of the things Seth wanted for his birthday clear back in March was to go on a Trilobite Dig down in Delta. We put it off all spring, then all summer, and then finally when I called they said they close on Oct. 30. We decided we better get down there soon, so on Oct. 18th Ryan once again stepped up to the plate and took the boys on the 31/2 hr drive down to Delta without me or the baby or Sarah. ( I would have just had to sit there with them in the middle of the rocks for 2 hrs. because there is nothing else around. ) Seth had the time of his life and I think Ry and Easton had fun too. They found lots of fossils and said it was really cool. If your kids are into fossils this is a great place to go. They give you a hammer and a bucket and send you out into the massive area of rocks where you pound away and collect as many as you want. It is called U-Dig and they have a website if you are ever interested. Once again the boys had a great time just hangin out with Dad, so although he hunts quite a bit, he did a really great job this fall of also spending some quality time with the kids which not only makes them happy, but also puts a smile on my face.

Oh yeah-thanks for being so patient Seth.Sorry it took so long.
