There's Gold in them thar Hills

In September, we went with a friend and a homeschooling group to Hiddenite, NC to mine for gems. We went slucing, creeking and digging and found some very colorful rocks.

Courtney was told that we would get wet in the creek, so she decided her bathing suit would be the proper attire.

We also had a good time helping out with the duck feeding that afternoon.
