Our Fossil Hunting Field Trip!

On May 9, we went on our fossil hunting field trip at LaFarge. It was a BLAST! Literally! We actually got to see them blast some of the rocks away! Our "tour guide," Ben, said that was over 40,000 tons of rocks! That's over 80 million pounds! WOW! We were absolutely safe though. No worries.

Then it was FOSSIL HUNTING time! YAHOO! We had SO MUCH fun! They also gave us a FREE treat and drink to enjoy later.  Thank you, LaFarge!

After hunting for fossils for a while, we worked up an appetite. So we went to McDonalds for lunch. They also let make our own sundaes for FREE! Thank you, McDonalds!

Next, we went to the Paulding Park to burn off some energy.

When we returned to school, we ate our treat and drank our juice that we had gotten from LaFarge. Finally, we laid out all of our fossils (especially the trilobites) that we had found to show our classmates. It was an AMAZING field trip!
