Madison Furniss, Rock collector Extraordinaire.

Welcome to Labor Day Weekend Madison style.  This weekend was anything but relaxing.  (Not that I really expected that I would be able to sleep the whole weekend away, but I was kinda hoping.)

Today was Labor Day, and everyone knows that on Labor Day, almost no one works.  Well, I'd like you to tell that to my parents.  They decided that we should spend some "quality time" together and therefore dragged us out to the middle of nowhere, (by the old pony express trail in Lehi, like 3 whole hours away from PG!!!) and had us dig up rocks.  Now, don't get me wrong, I love rocks as much as the next girl, they can make some very good projectile missiles, but, spending 4 hours out in the blazing hot sun collecting rocks which you just end up using as paperweights later, is not my idea of fun.

This rocks are cooler than most, I will admit, and I got some really cool ones, but when your seven hour trip turns into a ten hour trip due to two flat tires (well, it was really one flat tire, but that's another story.) Then, you start to realize that spending six hours in the car with five annoying brothers is not, I repeat: NOT something to ever be attempted again.

The following is a picture of the types of rocks we collected from Utah's own geode beds:
