Before Regan arrived, I left off blogging with the news that we would be taking Wyatt on an adventure tailored to his love of rocks and desire to see the inside of a cave. On Saturday September 4th, we started our day a little later than hoped (not unusual at all here) and headed out of town to visit a quaint and fun little place. The kids toured the cave. Andy and I have been in this particular cave before, and we are watching our budget, so we wandered around the village while the kids were in the cave. Zach and Savannah reported that Wyatt was intimidated by the stairs. He came out of the cave pumped for some mining fun.
Our budding geologist mined for gems and was thrilled to take home a bag full of fancy rocks. He was mad that I did not return to get a particularly shiny rock that he wanted, but we were a bit rushed.
Candle making and a trip to the mill followed.
We finished the day with a trip to the candy shop and questions from Wyatt about how soon we can return.
Labor Day weekend fun continued on Sunday when we joined my parents and siblings for a humongous meal. Zach and Savannah slept over at Tiffany's, and Wyatt and Julia stayed with Grandma and Grandpa. It was back to work on Labor Day for me (at my part time job, which I decided to keep).
