We were driving around in Girdwood this weekend and went down a gravel road. We ran in to the Crow Creek Mine. A place where you can go gold mining! I've always wanted to try it. :) They hand you a pan, a bucket and a shovel. (if you want you can buy some dirt that is a "sure" things also)So we went trucking down the trail to the river. Or course this happens when are totally not prepared. No mud boots or baby carrier. I don't know why I don't always have extra things in the car. Just because we went to get brunch at my most favorite place- Jack Spart- it does not mean that you might not just end up panning for gold! Axel fell in the mud on the way there but he was totally in to it once he got to dig for some treasures!

On the way way in I didn't take any pictures. But we found a better, less muddy way back to the camp. We left with a few flecks of gold and a fun day playing outside. Some times the best days are completely unplanned.

It was a good day. Starting with great food and ended with fun adventures.

Ahhhh. Yes, the best days are the unplanned ones for sure. Did you strike it rich?
No WAY!!!! That is the coolest field trip ever. Abel looks so cute sitting in that little bucket.
