Geologist or Archeologist?

Lotty and Paul went down to the park with our friend, Ryan, who was visiting Seattle for the Labor Day weekend.  Lotty enjoyed the swing and also walking around in the grass with help from Daddy.  Both of them wore their sandals, being a hot day for Seattle (in the 80s).



After a nap and dinner outside on the patio, Lotty enjoyed playing in the dirt.  Since it hasn't rained here in a while, the dirt was very dusty, but still tasted good: strong tannins with hints of dry leaves.  (We kept most of it out of her mouth.)  Lotty thought it was very interesting to feel the soil fall through her fingers.  She found rocks which were also carefully tasted. After the dirt passed through her fingers, she brushed her hands together to get most of the dust off before picking up some more.  As far as we know, she didn't find any fossils or artifacts.

  1. We have fossils in our dirt out here in Colorado! Clearly she must come visit. We have a real guest room now with a comfy bed and everything. (nice shirt, btw).
