The gift of the geodes

Aunt Becky trying to crack the geode.
Still trying to crack the geode.

Success!

This is the 4th of 4 new posts, so be sure and scroll down to catch up on all the excitement around the Blankinship house!


RaDora and Aunt Becky brought some geodes they bought at the Earth Science Museum in Asheville, North Carolina. We all had big fun cracking them open to admire the crystals on the inside...yep, science nerds. Did I mention that Aunt Becky is a 7th grade Science teacher? We now have cracked open geodes strategically placed around the house.
