Photograph of the Day -- 6/5/19

Hey everyone, I thought I'd share a "photograph of the day" post before I head back home. This photo was taken over a year ago.....when Eli was really into rock hunting. We found this "smile" rock at the park. We also found a few other rocks with words. What do you think of the photo? How about the idea of rock painting/hunting?

That is a nice picture of your son. I was painting rocks and putting them all over town for awhile. We have not found any in a long time.

Thank you :) And that's awesome that you did that! Seems like the rock painting thing has kind of slowed down here too.

Aw that's such an adorable picture! And I love the painted rocks. My teenage niece found one a year or two ago, I'd love to find one myself, or at least with my younger niece or best friend's son.

@MommyOfEli2013 You're welcome! It'd be cool to find one for sure. I hope you and your little guy find more soon. Have you thought of painting and hiding any yourself? I would like to, when I get the money to spare for enough supplies for all of us. They have kits at Five Below, but a $5 kit probably won't cut it for us.

@MommyOfEli2013 Aw, I bet he loved the Minon rock! Do you keep them when you find them? I hope others have founded, and loved, your rocks. Yep, but I don't know how many rocks come in a kit, I'll have to check it out. I hope you guys have fun hiding them again! :)

Aahh .. was that a rock? At first glance, I thought it was a slogan on his t-shirt. :-) It looks cool... and I like both the smiles ;-)

@kobesbuddy He would be, but we haven't been rock hunting in a while....since the town square is being remodeled.

Very cute photo. This rock hiding/hunting thing has really become a trend. Even I tend to see a few lying around from time to time. I don't play along, but I know a few people who do.

@MommyOfEli2013 While it is not something I personally engage in, I do see why some people do, and I also think that the uniqueness of each rock is what is part of the appeal.

Thank you! And yes....it has seem to become a trend. That's cool that you see them sometimes though...it's cool to see how artistic people can get with them!

@porwest That's how I thought before we started to do the whole rock painting thing! It's nice that those who don't engage in it, can still appreciate it.

Oh ho.... He is holding a rock!! It seemed to me at the beginning that he is clapping and smile was written in his T-shirt.
