Regan's 4th Grade went to Hiddenite Gem Mine last week. Regan LOVES rocks, in fact we have some rocks in a rock tumbler in our garage right now causing quite a racket. So, this was a dream field trip for Regan. Tony also enjoys rocks so he was eager to chaperone this field trip. They had a great time despite the heavy rain. They enjoyed wading in a creek looking for gems, had a chance do to some sluicing and then listened to an informative presentation on rocks and minerals. Regan and Tony found some really neat rocks.
Tony said Regan was very good at finding rocks in the creek. She went down the creek away from all the other students and found a ton. Everyone in her class was telling her she found the most. Regan gets determined when she is looking for something she wants.
