Brian purchased a rock tumbler a while back. He has fond memories of this activity as a youngster and wanted to do some tumbling with our kids as well. Throughout the end of the summer they worked on a couple of different sets of rocks, some purchased and some we found on walks around the neighborhood. It is a lengthy process that involves several weeks per batch, with check in's and changing the "grit" every week or so. They all enjoyed it.
