Egg Hunt

Today's "adventure" for the kids was doing an Easter egg (rock) hunt at the Rock, Gem, and Craft Show at Mt. Hood Community College sponsored by the Mt. Hood Rock Club. The main event for the kids was the Easter (Thunder) Egg & Rock Hunt where kids hunted for specialized rocks on the grass and tennis court. Some of the small rocks were in plastic eggs while bigger rocks were just out in the open. All the kids had a great time collecting rocks. This was a fun event. But it also taught the kids a few things about rocks and geology. After the hunt, we went inside the gym and saw all sorts of rocks and crafts displays. What caught my attention were the fossil rocks containing plant and leaf fossils. We had a great time, and at the end of the day, the kids collected a lot of interesting rocks.
