The End

And that brings us to the end of my photo-a-day January. Now why did I do that in the first place? It's obvious that I am NOT a photographer. But I've been thinking back to the beginnings of this blog. I started it when I was living far away from family in a place that they probably couldn't really picture. I wanted to have a way to show family our regular lives. After a while I stopped blogging about the ordinary stuff, and only included the big events. This blog basically turned into a travel-log.

But really, those "big" events aren't what make our lives. It's all the little things that add up. I figured by posting a photo every day I might get myself back into the habit of recording all those insignificant things that end up being the most significant of all.

It was a lot of fun. I'm glad I did it. But don't expect a new post tomorrow :)

Fossils

We made fossils today.

I love the kids' expressions as they unearthed their fossil creations.

Say "Bow tie!"

Science

Okay, so you know how under the earth it's really hot, and there's molten magma swirling around?

Say you take some different rocks and minerals...

And put it under there with the rest of that magma...

It'll all melt and mix together forming a brand new substance.

Usually you shouldn't lick magma, but today we'll make an exception.

When it cools it'll be a new sort of igneous rock, different from what it was before it all melted and mixed together.

Or maybe it's just an excuse to make fudge.
