Poppa and Nonna know how cool Zachary thinks geodes are (made by lava--of course he thinks they are amazing!) So when they saw an opportunity for him to crack open his own geodes, they snagged up the woot deal, and sent the geodes off to Connecticut.
Zachary was ecstatic.
I was insistent that we wait until the weekend when Big Daddy Paul could help, much to Z's annoyance. After a few days of impatience, we were finally able to take the geodes out to the backyard and do some investigating. Elara and Zachary took turns picking out rocks, putting on the safety goggles, and examining the geodes with the magnifying glass after Daddy (or Zachary!) cracked them open with a hammer. Z even took them in to school for show and tell, along with the identification book they had been using to figure out what kind of geodes they were.
My little scientists were very happy. :) Thanks Nonna and Poppa!
