Today, they had groups of kids come in and learn a bit about what archeologists do. They held a mini-lab, where the kids documented "artifacts" found in the field, researched other similar objects to figure out what their artifact might have been used for and then give a sketch of that piece.
Following that, they were taken in groups to create casts of an artifact for them to take home. Then, while it dried, they finished touring the displays in the museum and could even go outside to climb to the top of a piece of history left from the Adena Indians. I remember climbing it as a child...however, I don't remember it being that TALL! Lol!
After his taste of Archeology, he is having a difficult time choosing between it or Paleontology! I told him to continue his love of Paleontology but to just explore more of the Archeology stuff. Maybe he could work on them both. (I am so NOT paying for both college tuition bills! LOL!)

Very cool!
And I like the new blog header too!
Thanks! He had so much fun! He talked and talked and talked about everything when he saw his dad.
As for the new header...That is a poem that Grandma C would say to me when I was very young. There is a whole story about it but that's another post! Haha!
What a wonderful thing to do with these kids! :)
I hope your son realizes how lucky he is to have such a parent as you, even if you don't want to pay for him to go to college twice. LOL!
Gayle, he's a great kid! All my boys are. He knows his dad and I will help him with what we can but that he will have to "fall on his face" a few times to figure out this crazy existence called life. The hardest thing we as parents can do is let our kids fail so they can learn. We want to pick them up and dust them off, put bumper pads on the world, but they have to figure it out sometime. *sigh* My younger two have a great example to follow with their older brothers.
