| On Monday we went fossil hunting at the Penn-Dixie site in Hamburg |
 |
| James immediately figured out how to spot the little corals/trilobites and filled up his bucket |
 |
| Felix mostly filled his bucket with rocks. Kerplink, kerplank, kerplunk |
 |
| It was a little windy |
 |
| Everything we dug up was from the Devonian, so no T-Rex bones, unfortunately |
 |
| A hard day of excavation justifies an ice cream stop |
 |
| Felix-Vanilla and rainbow sprinkles. Owen-Cotton candy and chocolate chips (?) James-Banana and sprinkles |
 |
| Some of James' fossil treasures |
 |
| Corals, moss animals |
 |
| Cnidaria, and possibly some primitive squid |
 |
| He took an entire afternoon to build his LEGO "museum exhibit" |
 |
| He doesn't know yet that his mother has sworn these fossils are not going to be in the house permanently |
 |
| Clam shell fragments, brachiopods |
 |
| Owen's haul was also impressive, but we haven't let him get into them yet |
 |
| The full James collection |
 |
| From one of our many Bay Park hikes. We must always find a log for a snack spot |
 |
| It was a good year to get a sprinkler |
 |
| One of many Lake Ontario visits |
 |
| Owen learned how to climb the walls |
 |
| So this is how he spends a good bit of every day now |
