.8.24.09..." Diamond..Park?"


What a great, spur-of-the-moment thing to do.
Dig for diamonds.
Yip. You heard me...
Arkansas has the only place, here in the U.S. you can dig for your own diamonds.
For $6.00 per digger(ha! ha!)
People from all around, come here to try their luck!
Some actually find something..
Upon the entrance there is a sign tallying the diamonds found today, yesterday, this year(so far), and last year...pretty impressive :)

First.
Have the proper {cute} attire...not white though.
You get dirty out there playing in the dirt.





So you pick a spot...


And dig.

An 8 carat diamond has been found here and not only that, but the most perfect diamond has been found here!
Cool, huh?






So after your done digging and getting dirty...you can relax at the pool!
Yip. That's right. There is a pool to cool down at and just relax...


Ummm....you can bet we are coming back.

Who would pay money to go watch a movie when you can spend it doing something like this? And the pool at the end? Way better. Unless it's a really good movie you've been wanting to see. Or if you have a sprained ankle. Or broken collar bone. Or if it's snowing.
