See, now, if there had been field trips, I probably wouldn't have preferred to sleep through geology class.
Now I find it fascinating, and luckily, so does my daughter, so we can pore over the rock samples in museums for as long as we want. Someone smart usually puts them right next to the dinosaur exhibit, which helps extend my son's attention span.

Cripes it's cold! Let's dance to warm up.
I love seeing the layers, like the past becomes visible. Chunks of time in the lines.
