We went hunting for
trilobites this past weekend. oh man. I was stoked and it ended up pretty fun. Whats a trilobite, you might ask? lemme show you:
and some seaweed to go along with our little critters:
I didn't find many big ones, mostly because I was on baby duty and I apparently haven't swung a hammer for an extended period in my life (think blisters). But the crew (kolt's family) brought in some beauties, the biggest being about 3 inches wide!
It was our own little Cambrian-era style of
Gold Rush. I totally recommend it.
Pretty much you find a spot where a layer of shale is sticking out and you start chipping it apart. And you find these cool little "bugs" in between the layers. Des had a blast banging his hammer on rocks too so it was good for the whole family. (well, besides Gray. he sat there trying to eat the rocks so we had to keep a close eye on him.)

That is so fun! We did it a number of years ago and are trying to figure out when we can take Brenner this summer. :)
