Happy (Early) Labor Day

It's Friday before Labor Day and the boys and I are headed out to Emerald Creek to mine for purple, star garnets.  It is 8:00 and Mark has still not come out of his room and we are leaving at 8:30...I have a picnic already packed in the car.  Mark usually hangs out at Emerald Creek throwing rocks into the water...one of his favorite pastimes!  So, I guess we are not going to get our "work" in this morning.  He will work with Dan later today on the typing...have a great weekend!

Here are a couple of pictures from the conference in Syracuse.
