Rock Star


Camp Boyd has a friend, Vic Favier, who William knows to be a ROCK STAR!!!
Sure, some kids look up to Spiderman or football players.  My son wants to know all the minerals and rocks.  So, his ROCK STAR is literally a 'Rock' Star!  We'd done some collecting of rocks, and William got to take them for identification.
William was impressed by the drawers and organization of his collection!
Anytime you get to look through a microscope, it's a good day! 
William loves maps.  Knowing where certain mineral deposits and rocks come from is a very cool part of geology. 
There were some very cool toys.
William ended up getting a rock collection that he loves to show everyone and explains everything in great detail, much to their time detriment.
It gave him something to talk about to his cousin's new wife, who will soon be a degreed geologist.  I think she was kinda jealous of some of his samples.
Many of William's pictures were out of focus.
This one turned out! 
At the end, they decided to use their microscope superpower to look at pond scum.  Now that's a superpower!

We also get to see the different ways to cut rock in the video.
