More Fossil Hunting

Bradley University's spring semester wrapped up with exams and commencement this past week.  May Interim starts tomorrow.  The weather has been kind of chilly, but it is warming up now.  There is a baby cardinal at our neighbor's house.  We had some family friends sleep over last night and today I took some of the kids fossil hunting in the woods.  We found a good "hot spot" with lots of good fossils  - what a great experience for the kids (maybe they are good luck).  We also saw: half a dozen species of flowers, a live bat that was uncovered when someone brushed aside a pile of leaves (THAT was creepy), a Hot Wheels car that seems to be about 40 years old (it had a root growing into one rear wheel well and and out of the other rear wheel well), the old Oldsmobile (full sized), and a rickety footbridge.
