Ringing Rocks

We took the kids to a landmark about an hour away that we kept hearing about called Ringing Rocks Park. It's a 128 acre pile of boulders that you can climb and explore and when you strike the boulders, they make bell-like sounds! We came armed with a few hammers for the kids to tap the rocks with and they also tried using smaller rocks to tap the larger ones. Before taking the kids into the Boulder field, we had them bang a few regular rocks to hear the sound that they made so that they would be surprised by the noises that the ringing rocks made. They thought that it was awesome and loved finding different sounding boulders and climbing throughout the boulders. Pudge took a spill at one point which made us nervous but they were otherwise careful. 

We also explored some of the trails but found that those rocks didn't ring
