Rock Cycle= crazy.

Well I felt like today was a really crazy day. The kids were nuts and off the wall and it was really muddy and wet, which made it even more crazy. This was the first time I have done Rock Cycle this spring so I was a little rusty. The group came really early which never helps with things, I just got the projector up and running when the bus pulled in. I was the only ML person working with Fransis and Richard. But overall the day was good but like I said... crazy. I was in the pit which I now see having 2 people work in the pit is good. I wasn't able to crush the rocks and talk to the kids about what they were finding so = crazy. Then for lunch I had the kids go over to the farmstead and then after lunch we split up into 3 groups and went on nature hikes. I led my group over to Cub Lake to make sure I brought the hike back to talking about Geology. Anyway good day but I now see that it is ten times more helpful when there is more than 1 ML grad/staff person there. Crazy day.

p.s. I'm on Rock Cycle next tuesday for the long day and I really don't want to do it so if there was a kind soul that would switch me for WW. maybeI'll just ask Paul.
