Our little Rockhound!

Jayden has become a total rockhound!  She's constantly looking for unique and interesting rocks or crystals.
She has a really neat collection started and is learning all kinds of things along the way...  her Auntie Liz and Uncle Keith sent her a neat mining kit for her birthday.  

Jayden has polished her first set of rocks in her new rock tumbler and is excited to make jewelry out of them.  It was very neat to see her and Grandpa huddled together looking up each of her different treasures.  
As her collection gets larger so does the number of random rocks we find all over the house.  Twice there have been rocks in our garbage disposal, and countless times her rocks have been found in the washer or dryer.
However, upon closer examination it is amazing to see her excitement and ongoing fascination with all her discoveries.  As she gets older, I hope that she's able to hold on to her love of this fun new hobby.
