Peter Day.....April?

April 19th, or as we know it around here...Peter day! I went to the Cave of the Mounds and saw that they had a geode splitter. I asked if they would split ones that we bring in and they said sure! So as a Peter day activity he picked out 5 of his to get split! There were not many people there at the time so he got to turn the crank himself! It takes a lot of muscle to break open rocks! They were all solid but still really cool to see the patterns inside! For Peter day meal we had homemade waffles, bacon and strawberries. Yum! and for dessert pink and green mint icecream! For his special gift I picked out some treasures from Cave of the Mound to add to his ever growing rock collection -green calcite, smoky quartz and aragonite. Aragonite is even florescent under ultraviolet light! We will have to set something up to check that out!And the final touch...doughnuts for breakfast! Breakfast of champions! Overall a pretty fantastic Peter day with exception of the weather. Isnt this nasty. Snow in April. Fortunately we are getting ice and slush....just north of here they are getting 6-9inches of snow. Yes you read the correct. Hey Keiko, so you miss WI now????

Happy Peter DAy! gosh, we love that kid!
