Bear Lake Day 3 Panning For Gold

This was one of the most memorable moments for me. Marcia put together a panning for gold activity. The kids used pie pans and would scoop up some of the special sand she brought, put it in their pan, then add a little water, swish it around, and viola! They could pan out the gold nuggets. She used bronze lead shot(I think) for the gold. The kids thought this was fantastic! Cole even got into it.;) I thought it was most fun to see how happy Grandma and Grandpa were watching their grandkids have so much fun with the activity.
