This past weekend we went to Vermont to a Rock Quarry Open House they had in Middlebury.
Noah is very interested in rocks of all kinds. He loved this place! They had a scavenger hunt for kids to do, all kinds of different rock displays, and even microscopes set up so you could see what the rocks looked like.
…And Noah’s favorite part
….pounding rocks.
His least favorite parts, (which I found out later)
… the scavenger hunt. They were given a paper with questions listed on it, and they had to go find the answer.
He, apparently would rather just break up rocks. We stayed there quite a while.
We went with his cousin and my sister. There were many kids there, so Noah and his cousin shared the hammer back and forth.
Noah is showing me his hands, cause they were sore after he carried half the quarry out with him. I told him that if he wanted them, he had to carry them. It’s a wonder the bag held!
…not overly enthusiastic to be leaving the quarry.
The thing that impressed Noah the most?? They use rock (calcium) in toothpaste.
