The last Saturday of summer, what should we do? How about going to the Fairmead Fossil Discovery Center. Well when we talked about it, everyone wanted to go, Grandma, Nono, Grammy, Papa and Uncle Matt and Caleb; we made one big group! Aidan has been talking about dinosaurs and fossils for over a year now, since Grady took him up the hill at camp and told him something they found might be a dinosaur fossil. We got to start out by digging for fossils, it was great after scooping and brushing the sand away everyone discovered a different fossil. I was amazed at how patient Aidan and Mikyla, they did it step by step exactly how Grady told them. Mikyla was especially patient, off in her own world working away at getting that fossil unearthed. Aidan on the other hand worked at his then moved on to Ethan's helping him and then there was Caleb that needed help to. And of course Ethan was more interested in scooping the sand and pouring and throwing it.
After the fossil dig came the real tour and the real meaty information, and let's just say it was all over in the kids eyes. They looked around and were amazed at the bones of the Ground Sloth and Short Faced Bear but then they wanted to color and the attention was gone. Overall it was such a great day and a really great facility and Grady loved seeing us and giving us the tour. He really had such a great time giving us the grand tour.
