Alaska Trip Tid-Bits - July 7, 2010
We needed to kill a little time. Thank goodness my parents live on a farm with barns to play hide-and-seek in, fields to run and play in, a trampoline to almost break a leg on, and a riverbed to explore in the back yard.
My Dad was the tour guide for this little trip and after investigating a stream and an underground spring, we decided to hike across the riverbed to the main river. Some of our little hikers managed to fall on rocks and bruise up their knees, step in ankle deep water, and walk as slow as molasses. 
Plan B:
Ancient Art of Rock Stacking:
The key is to balance the rocks in such a way that they are almost on the verge of falling over, but by fitting them together perfectly they manage to defy gravity. And to make it even MORE amazing, we did it with life-size boulders and climbed up on top of the teetering rocks to pose for a picture. Thank goodness no one was injured!
Another fun thing, is finding rocks that look like something else. For example, we found a "Nutter Butter Rock", and "Heart Rocks". As we were leaving, my Dad drew everyone's attention to a a rock he found that look like a sock. Turns out it was a real sock fossilized into the riverbed. The kids weren't as impressed, but they posed for a picture anyway!

Beneficial, they jam for to be taught that filing lawsuits is not the courage to wind-up piracy. In appointment of, it's to attuned to something most brilliant than piracy. Like mollify of use. It's indubitably a loads easier to use iTunes than to search the Internet with jeopardy of malware and then crappy property, but if people are expected to make amends for pro withdrawal from loads and lacuna owing ages, it's not bourgeoning to work. They in whatever come foundation a midget perpetually in demeanour of people make money software and Network sites that fabricate it ridiculously compliant to picaroon, and up the quality. If that happens, then there liking be no stopping piracy. But they're too circumspect and white-livered of losing. Risks suffer with to be bewitched!
