Quarry Quest

We had such a fun and busy day today. We got up early and ran around looking at window showrooms because we need to replace all of the windows on our house. After looking at three showrooms we headed over to the farmers market for lunch. The weather was beautiful and the people watching excellent.

From the farmers market we headed to Quarry Quest and had an amazing afternoon in the Quarry. Here is a picture I took after we unloaded the bus that brought us to the Quarry, this only shows a portion of the fun. I'll let the pictures describe some of the activities we participated in.

The boys enjoyed climbing, playing, running and falling down big sand hills.

We had the opportunity to dig and sift through the sand for gems (Cullen was diggin' this).

The boys got to ride on cranes, loaders, diggers, etc...

There were volunteers everywhere, a lot of them had been out in the sun helping all day.

The longest we waited in line was about 10 minutes for Geremu to "build a sand castle" as you can see him doing below.

The sun and fun sure pooped the boys out but they didn't want to leave until it was over.

Cullen wanted to look for more gems and fools gold.

While we were at the quarry we met Nick's cousin Conner and Uncle Mike so Cullen was in heaven. Here Cullen is weighing his loot. He did get to keep some of it and he is currently looking around the house for a treasure chest to put it into.

We also tour of the quarry to learn more about it. I'm not really sure who had more fun, the kids or the parents.
