MORE SPARKS

Looking for crystals on Crystal Peak in California, near Sparks, Nevada. Even Amber looked for and found crystals.

But Arleen did a lot of the work :) When it was time to go, she had a small tantrum, but was convinced it was time to leave, since everyone else had had enough.
Finally the kids got a rest at Autumns class pool party to celebrate the end of school





If the weekend had been ruled by grandkids, the next two days were dictated by David and Heather. First we learned how much the kids got away with. It was a lot. Friday before they had left, we made tie dyed tee shirts. Monday we saw the result of our efforts. Then it was off to Crystal Peak to spend the day digging for crystals. We found quite a few and of course Autumn found the best one. Finally even Arleen, the most ardent of rockhounds had had enough and we headed back to Sparks.

Tuesday was spent mainly at a swim party for Autumn’s third grade class. Back home, we redid our tie dyed shirts hoping for a better result. We saw some improvement but still haven’t perfected the techniques. (maybe we will try it again at home)
