The day after Thanksgiving my Dad, Chris, the boys, and some of the Standage's (Mark, Jacob, Joseph, Shelby and two of their cousins from San Diego) went Apache Tear hunting. It takes about an hour to get to the mines, which are about 10 minutes outside of Superior.
When we first got there there were people target practicing in the mines we usually go to but after exploring the area Chris and Mark found another mine. While they were exploring my dad and I did some target practicing of our own. I'm not a very good shot but it was fun just the same.
We looked for Apache Tears for a couple of hours and came home with a ton of them with Jacob finding the biggest.
Kyle and Caleb had a great time and loved being like one of the big kids with their hammer, climbing up the sides of the mountain digging around. I didn't find many Apache Tears but I had a great time watching the kids have fun. 
My dad found a big lizard while out exploring. We were going to get Caleb a lizard for his birthday so we brought this one home for him instead. Kyle named the lizard "Spikey" (I'm not sure why Kyle named him but Caleb seemed okay with it). 
When we got him home we had to shift some of the animals around to accommodate him for a day or so but we found him an enclosure of his own on Craigslist the next day.After stopping by Sonic for some dinner we headed home with some tired but happy kids. It was a great day and we can't wait to go out and do it again.
