Rock Picker

We live in New England and there are lots of rocks here. Our backyard has a special rock pile consisting of broken pieces of blacktop which had been dug out of our current garden space. Owen enjoys selecting pieces of blacktop from this pile for inspection. His other backyard hobby is removing the rocks our landlord Mike put in for drainage lanes near the house. And then of course there are the random rocks in our yard. Today we watched Owen stumble through the waist high grass (on him), fall and pick himself back up all while still holding his rock of the moment. He may go down, but the rock will stay with him.
