May 21, 2014 Treasures From the Rock and Gem Shop


On May 21 the Navigators, Explorers and Bumblebees went on a rock hunting expedition to Jerry's Rock and Gem shop in Kent. We listened to a dinosaur doctor (Dr. Joan, the owner of the store, has a PHD in paleontology) and then went shopping for treasures! We were enthusiastic rock hounds to start with and are now Super Enthusiastic Rock Hounds with great intentions to go back for more!

Dr. Joan, the dinosaur doctor, uses cookies to teach about rocks.
(Notice her Ms Frizzle-esque shirt!)

So much to choose from

Lots of oohs...

...and ahs

Decision time

Some things are too expensive...

...but maybe we can buy a bone fragment.
   
Or maybe we'll have to go directly 
to the source 
to find more treasures!

Add to birthday list:
gift certificate to Jerry's Rock and Gem shop
Gem Trails of Washington
hiking boots
rock tumbler
