While in Gatlinburg Reesi discovered Gem Mining. She did it at Dollywood and on the last day she wanted to do it again. I had planned on taking her to the Aquarium so we asked her which one she would rather do and without question she wanted to mine again. At the last place we mined they had a jewelry store inside and would turn your gems into rings. I thought it was a great idea, but Reesi wasn't interested. She just wanted a rock collection. She has had so much fun playing, sorting, and counting them. 
This one is her favorite!

This is her big bucket to mine.
Larry really got into it. He would help Reesi match the rocks up to the ones on her card to identify them.
Larry's cool new shades for $10. We bought them at first to be funny, but I think they grew on him and he actually likes them now.
One morning Larry took Reesi to see the mountains while I stayed home with Elye for a nap. I didn't even think about it being cold up there and Reesi was freezing. She wasn't really into the hiking part of Gatlinburg, maybe next time.

I want to call Larry "Earl" when he has that goatee. The glasses and hat make him look even more like an "Earl".
