Smashing Rocks

I love observing what grabs the interest and imagination of a child - especially my own. Anders recent interest was smashing rocks - searching for jewels, fossils, and a smashing experience. He smashed so many rocks that he filled bucket after bucket with gravel. He smashed so many rocks and had so much fun with this that as a family we went out on a fossil hunting expedition purely to bring home more rocks to smash. We brought home hundreds of pounds of VT rocks and he continued to smash them into sand and gravel the next day. It was a perfect kid thing to do and I as his mom enjoyed watching every bit of it. Yes, we made him wear safety goggles.
