Sarah,
I see you guys enjoyed a little gem "mining"!! We ended up trying out two places in Dahlonegah. One was really pretty fun because it was set up in the same stationary water pools that gold mining is done in, so you really had to do the sifting work yourself. The other place was three times the price and we finished before we even realized we'd started, because they used a running water "stream" set-up with a current that was so fast it carried all but the biggest stones away the instant your screen hit the water! (Not only that, but they added "fun" painted pea gravel to the other gem stones. Stupid!) Anyway.....I've always wondered if Pigeon Forge would be a fun place for Will, or if kids need to be older to really enjoy it. What would you say? S
