Over the weekend, we loaded up our cars with the cousins and three of Wade's friends to go fossil hunting. Wade turns 10 soon and my sister wanted to get the bday party in while it was still nice and warm around here. What a fun morning of walking in the creek, finding lots of shark teeth and even a few frogs!
We went to Ramanessin Brook Greenway Nature Trail in Holmdel, NJ. We have been in this creek before, but not this part. It's amazing! We were looking for fossils from the Cretaceous period, a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and NJ was submerged beneath the ocean. It's wild to think the shark teeth we found are millions of years old! Every kid and adult found some teeth. It was a great day. Happy 10th Birthday Wade!
When I looked up some info on the creek, I came across an article that talks about an event coming up in September where a guide will be with you.
you guys do the fun-est things...this is the kind of birthday party i want to go to!! i'm going to check out the article!!
