Lest you think we get out all that frequently and feel guilty that you don't ('cause blogs can be a bit one-sided) :) We are still on our 5 day adventure in Eastern Oregon, that we took in September instead of starting school....However, we worked really hard at making the best of the rain and clouds... we dicovered the Lava Cast Forest which was extremely fun. There were 12 casts to find/see. They were along a path, and the boys loved the "hunt". So did I for that matter! Chad just enjoys seeing us all run around excited -like. :)
pic. 1 A lava cast: A tree or stump covered over with hot lava during a volcanic eruption....then the tree decomposes or burns to nothing and the hole of the tree is left with lava rock to show where it was. (not a super-scientific description but I do love info..)
pic 2.
J and E are squatting near a stump that we thought looked like a teddy bear.

ReplyDeleteNothing like the enthusiasm factor to make things exciting! I thought the #2 looked like and elephant!
ReplyDeleteWow, very cool! Christian would be very interested in that- he's learned a lot about volcanic stuff, since Flagstaff is basically a volcano field and he's interested in geology stuff!
