down to the barren fork

It was a warm day and we couldn't spend it all in the garden so we took a break and drove down to Barren Fork Creek. But, first we stopped at James' store for a soda and a little conversation.
I couldn't persuade Hunter to change out of his pajamas.



We were the only ones on the creek that day and it was so restful with the sun on our backs and the wind whistling a lonely tune as it blew over our pop bottles.




Marley said she wished she had all those rocks in her back yard.



Here she's examing rocks in hopes of finding a fossil. Every once in a while we get lucky and find a good one.

You are such a great Pops. Thanks for taking the time with my kids. Marley's dad wishes he had all those rocks in his backyard too. Less to mow!!! Kelly

So, were any of them fossils?

We find a lot of fragmented fossils and every once in awhile a pretty good one. A friend found a fossil that looks like a trilobyte (not sure about the spelling) on the Illinois River not far from here.
