Paper Airplanes

Today I went gold panning with my father. I found a huge flake of gold plus some more smaller flakes and many garnets. I've always wanted to go panning with my dad and I'm glad to have finally done it. We had a good time and I hope we can go again some time. I was a little worried about him crossing the creek with the ice cold water and slippy rocks but he did fine.

Gold and Garnets

The kids and I made some paper airplanes after school today and then flew them around the field near the garden plot. It is amazing how such a simple craft can entertain and occupy them for such a long amount of time. Ava also made a paper man with a parachute.
