Joey plays archaeologist

While on vacation in Niagara Falls, we took a bus tour that stopped at a souvenir shop for a few minutes. Joey found an 'archaeologist set' that had a small chunk of hardened sand and the hope of finding precius gems inside (several smallish chunks of amethyst). About a week after we got home, as Jenny and I headed to bed, she noted that Joey's bedroom light was still on.... upon entering the room, we found our son busy digging through the sand to find the rocks inside it and making a huge mess on the floor and himself. There wasn't much to do but laugh....

The happy archaeologists face, now full of sand from his "big dig"

The floor in Joey's room during the excavation...

Here mom and dad ask Joey to read the important label on the back of the box.... something he forgot he should have done BEFORE opening it.

The all important label that Joey missed.

Great photos once again; and great child!!!

Excellent up-close shots of Joey; delightful story by his father.

I know for a fact that Joey's parents have infinite patience!!

Bless all of you!
