Mining

 At the Pumpkin Patch there was a place

to go mining for minerals.

The water was a little bit cold,

but all the girls wanted to try it anyway.

 It was pretty fun. 

We got to sift sand through this little

sifter and when the sand was

washed out by the water

the gemstones would be left behind.

 We found quite a few. Once we were finished

sifting our sand, we went around and found

sand poured out on the ground and sifted that,

too, and found even more pretty little stones.

This is what the sifter looked like.

If I were handy, I think I'd make one to take

with us to the river when we go Razor

riding. Then, the girls and I could sift through

the sand by the river while the guys went

for wild Razor rides. 

Who knows... we might find something interesting.
