Colorado School Of Mines: Geology Museum

And what a fun place this was! Despite all the glass cases.. the specimens were astounding. I loved this small but impressive place!  After spending the morning up at the Wild Buffalo Bill Museum this little gem was a perfect treat!

Peter-Leo and Kody in between the lava rock tall thingee split in two with purple crystal stuff inside. Way cool.

large round rock with that same purple crystal stuff!

the glowing rocks getting a dose of light, then off go the lights....

and BAM! Glowing rocks!! AWESOME!

The best things about this place.. the Apatosaurus thigh bone! The actual fossil bone! Amazing stuff.

If you look closely you can see a dragonfly in the stone! The camera did not do it justice.

The second best thing....
and BYU your stupid Y ain't got nothing on the letter M they have!!
woot-woot!!

All in all what a great day spent with the kids.. and they only complained once the entire time!! Can I get another WOOT-WOOT!!??!
