Happy Birthday, Jon!!

Today is Jon's birthday. He loves rocks and fossils, and when we go hiking he is always stopping to look at and pick up rocks. When we dug the pond in my backyard, we found lots of cool fossils that he took. He said his career choices came down to engineer or paleontologist, and he decided to be a professional engineer and amateur paleontologist, because you can't do the opposite.

So I decided to give him some geologist tools for his birthday. I got him a rock hammer, a belt holster, and a magnifier. He's very excited. Now we need to go hiking somewhere where he can use them.
