Gem & Mineral Show...

Photobucket
After our St. Patrick's Day meal at Jamie's house on Friday we went to the "Gem & Mineral Show" in Spanish Fork. It was my first time going to something like this and it was pretty interesting. Lots of pretty rocks to look at for sure. Here is some of what we saw...

Don't you love the VISA sign... trust me you'd need it if you wanted to buy some of these beauties! Some are in the thousands...

Those big round things at the top are Dinosaur Eggs.

The kids taking turns spinning the "Wheel of Fortune." They all got fun prizes.

The "walking" dinosaur that liked munching on people's heads...

Haha... sometimes this is how I really feel (especially at the end of the day when the kids haven't been on their best behavior.) :)

The kids came home with a few rocks, their "Wheel of Fortune" prizes, a shark tooth and rock candy suckers.

The rest of our rock adventure people...

Thanks for playing ladies (and kiddos)... hopefully we will be playing outside real real soon!

It was a lot of fun. Exhausting, but fun!

It was great. Ben and I went back and got some fossils for Dallin's room. We put them in shadow boxes. I can't wait to show you!
