End of Summer update.

7. September 2011 by Wendy.

  As summer has wound down to fall, we are getting into the autumn mode  here at the shop. All too soon, Alaskans everywhere will be packing up their summer toys and summer clothes and settling in for winter. Yard clean up before the snow flies, finding storage for boats, 4-wheelers, motorcycles, etc. 2011 was a good summer for us, and a busy one for me, so in some ways I think I will welcome the slower pace of winter. (Don’t hold me to that remark, come the middle of January!) I enjoy the busy-ness of summer, meeting new people, and so on, but the kids camps really wore me out! In a good way, of course, but it was a lot of work and planning. Although seeing the kids playing in the mine and identifying their rocks pretty much made it all worth it.  

   We are currently working out the details for doing a camp for school groups and homeschool groups this winter. I think it will be fun and I really enjoy seeing other people getting as excited about rocks and minerals as I do!
