Fossil Finding with Dad and Grandpa Fillmore

We love going fossil hunting. There is a place in Pennsylvania that Sterling has been dying to try. We have always looked for shark teeth, but this place has more of plants and ferns. He was supposed to have a Scout campout that fell through, so on Saturday he took the two older boys and Grandpa out to go look for fossils. I stayed home with the babies and Grandma Fillmore

On the way out there, they stopped by Gettysburg and looked around. Naturally the boys loved the cannons.

There is a really tall tower that you can climb up and look all around the battlefield. Here's Dad and Grandpa with the boys at the top. The view is beautiful. (Don't mind Dellin's pjs. I put those on him as an under layer on cold outings.)

Then they made there way to the fossil site. It was a bit of a walk, and they met a guy along the way with this ATV. The boys got to sit on it and try to drive it.

They found a lot of cool fossils and had a really great time. Here are the boys lunching.

This picture of Dellin wins for being the cutest picture of any outing ever. Dellin was pretty tire and towards the end of the day, he came and sat down next to dad, and just leaned his darling little head on dad. Grandpa snapped this picture for us. Thank you, Grandpa.

The boys got home pretty late and everyone was worn out and tired, but we still wanted to look at their findings.

The boys were really excited to show us what they found. Sterling is so good to give them their owns buckets and let them bring home anything they want. Best dad!

Here is a picture of just one of the many fossils they found.

It was a great day, made even greater by having Grandpa Fillmore there. Grandma and I spent most of the day relaxing. It was a whole lot of fun!
