The night we picked up Lauren's new glasses she was busy getting used to them. She realized the next afternoon that now that she wears glasses, she could be a scientist. What kind of scientist? Having just come back from an afternoon at the local Santa Fe Dam recreation area where they soaked in the water, collected artifacts underfoot and played in the sand, carefully carrying home two paper cups full of specimens, one balanced in each of her shoes, she decided that she would be a "scientist of rocks and stones."
