Because apparently my idea of quality family time is handing my kids a shovel and telling them to start digging for rocks. For our latest weird Missouri adventure, we went digging for MOZARKITE! 💎 Mozarkite is Missouri’s official state rock ⛏️ You can actually dig for it yourself 🌈 It comes in all kinds of colors and patterns 🪨 And yes, finding a good piece is ridiculously satisfying This is exactly the kind of quirky Midwest adventure I LOVE finding with my kids. Give me a weird roadside attraction, obscure museum, cave, rock mine, strange piece of history, or experience that makes you say “Wait…you can DO that?!” and I’m there. So I’m officially turning it into a series: Weird Places I Drag My Kids / Friends / Myself Follow along for more weird things to do with kids in Missouri, Kansas City day trips, Midwest family travel, hidden gems, and unusual family adventures. And PLEASE tell me: What weird place should I drag my kids to next? 👇😂 #rockhounding #rockhound #missouri
