Well, first of all there is the thrill of the hunt, or maybe the steal. There isn't a landscape around that is safe from her paws. She must take a rock no matter where we are. Outback Steakhouse, Chill's, you're grandmother's yard, wherever. No where is safe, not even the garden of Good and Evil. You never know what kind of rock you will find either. There are big rocks, little rocks, boulders, white rocks, dirty rocks, and even faux lava rocks, too.
Then, if you're feeling a bit creative, you can color your rocks. Crayons and sharpies work best, please. After you have colored your rock, or left it plain, you get to name it. Naming them is fun. Stoney Boney-O, Rocky The Pet Rock, Ugly rock, whatever you prefer.
This is Rocky, The Pet Rock. Rocky, this is my blog.
The best part about collecting rocks is leaving them on the floor and having the adults step on them. But be careful, it's a good way to get yelled at or put into time out.
Did you ever collect anything as a child? A has one other collection, but that's for another day.
Don't forget to see what the rest of the class is sharing.

She and Joey would get along fabulously. He collects rocks wherever we go.
Cute post! You got an award, come to my blog to pick it up. Congrats!
I too am a rock collector. Rocks are fabulous just the way they are but I love how A colors and names hers :-)
Hee! I used to be a rock collector when I was a little girl too. Rocks and shells. I like how she colored some of hers!
Hehehe! Loved this post! I also collected rocks as a child and have to stop myself now. No landscape was safe from me either. In fact, I have a rock that I stole - um, *cough* - found while walking along the wall surrounding a historic city (that shall remain nameless) The Hubs and I were visiting when we lived in England. I didn't dig it out! No, not me....Lol!
That's so cute. I still collect rocks, but from volcanoes I'm studying. Haven't thought to name them yet though...
Too fun! I was a thimble collector. Funny since I have never sewn much.
I love the way you tell this from A's perspective. Makes rocks very interesting!
I used to collect rocks when I was a kid and polish them! I totally forgot about that until reading this. :)
