Diamond Digging

OK, so the idea of diamond digging is WAY more fun than actually diamond digging.  It was chilly, there was a misty rain, and we were surrounded by hills of dirt that were turning quickly to mud.  The girls dug for a little while, but then got bored.  I walked with them and looked at the museum and gift shop, but that didn't hold them over either.  Finally, I had to drag Bob away without a "find".  We were lucky though that the was a nightly gem hunt set up for kids at Diamond John's.  The girls had fun looking for gems with flashlights and figuring out what they were the next day with a little book they gave us.  We now have gems, mission accomplished :)!
