The other day I had a wild hair to get out of dodge. I was wanting something warm and sunny where we could soak up some Vitamin D. St. George was all booked out at the hotels with pools which is a must have for the Weston family so we went to Nephi, then headed West to Topaz Mountain to hunt for rocks. There was no sun, but a pool, awesome rocks, and a ton of fun. We invited Brent, Rebecca and Tara along for the adventure.
First we went to the trilobite beds. We dug in the rocks for a couple of hours and only found a few small trilobites, but Shane and Brent were fixing a flat tire on our truck for a while of that so we just kept digging. It was very windy and cold, but we had pix axes so we just dug and dug. We went on some really bumpy dirt roads and used a whole tank of gas driving here and there. The kids did a great job and didn't even complain. They listened to books on CD and took naps with their heads bobbing up and down.
Next we went to the Geode beds. There were TONS of Geodes. It was the jackpot!!! We came home with about 50 that we do not know where we will put, but we are going to clean them up and save our few favorites and maybe even use them in the yard for decor.
On the way home we made a pit stop for some shopping at Cabella's and the outlet stores at Traverse Mountain.
This looks so, so fun. We need to go there.
