Around 4:00 p.m., Jay and his father went outside to set up the tent and campfire in the backyard. The air was much cooler than Jay expected. However, he remembered that he brought extra clothes and blankets. They fixed dinner using canned food and talked about how fun a real camping trip would be. After dinner, it began to rain. Jay was beginning to change his mind. His dad explained to him that part of camping is to understand that you cannot always control the weather. The tent kept them dry but Jay really wanted to go back into his house and sleep in his own bed. The sleeping bag was warm, but not as soft as his bed. Finally, Jay fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he was very cold and hungry. His dad offered to make a breakfast outside, but Jay was ready to go back into his warm house. When did Jay realize he wanted to go back into the house?

Sharon and her friends wondered if they could find more. They did find more! Some were very large and some were very small. Sharon had learned that often times it is hard to find fossils because they are buried deep in the ground. However, since there had been so much construction going on, these fossils were coming up from all the soil the bulldozers had dug up to build new homes. Overtime, Sharon and her friends collected several different kinds of seashell fossils. Why was it so easy for Sharon and her friends to find the fossils?
