Diamonds?????


We went to the Crater of Diamonds State Park today. They say people find diamonds every day, however, I walked all over that 37 acres and have determined that it may be a scam!!!! It was amazing to see how intense some people were in their hunting endeavors. The park attendant told us that a man found a 1/3 yellow carat diamond just yesterday. Nothing like getting your hopes up when you walk in and then getting hot and sweaty and leaving empty handed! All was not lost though, we did find quartz and jasper. The best part of the day for the kids, was playing at the water park next to the crater.
