Jim Johnson, a man we met through our trek experience, is a retired geology teacher. He offered and we gladly accepted, to let the kids come and dig for crystals. He has buckets of dirty old rocks that he runs through a screen and then gives to the kids to search for their crystals! They each had a pile, and by the end they were busy discussing what great things they were going to buy with their new found wealth. KOlbe was sure he would have enough money to buy an i-touch phone, and all other luxury items we will never have! They have sinced used these crystals as barter for chores and other tasks they themselvs don't want to do. Its funny what they think is important! Either way...thanks a bunch to Bro. Johnson for a super fun family home evening!

Brother Johnson is our favorite. He is really one of my heroes. Have him take you to philipsberg to dig for Saphires. The kids will love that too!
