Fossil Hunt






















Blessed with more beautiful weather we concluded up our adventurous weekend (see Thunderbird Falls and Eklutna Lake posts) by heading out to Sutton to do a little fossil hunting. I had the pleasure of chaperoning a field trip out there a few weeks prior. Watching approximately 50 students on the cliff during a rain storm was a little unnerving. I was nervous that Landon who is normally my cautious kid would not be interested in climbing the cliff to look for plant fossils...boy was I wrong. He scambled up that cliff and anxiously dug through the dirt and grime to find treasures. Grayson on the other hand was content to stay at the bottom and fuss for Mommy or Daddy (whoever was up on the cliff with Landon). There is another area nearby where you can supposably find amber. Don't worry Pappy, if we go back you can have Grayson duty at the bottom of the hill!
