Collect Rocks Day 2013

September 16th, Collect Rocks Day.  Both boys did some rock collecting today. 
As soon as he got to school this morning, Jr. immediately found a rock in the schoolyard and picked it up to show his classmates and inform them about the holiday.  During recess he apparently experimented.  He threw rocks in the dirt to see if they would make craters like meteors do on the moon.  He's been learning about the moon in school.  I like to see my kids excited about learning.
Jr. Jr. and I went to a park and he collected rocks to throw off a bridge into some water.
The best part is I let the kids know that any rocks they collected had to be put down before they came inside, so no collection of rocks around my home.  Hooray.
