To wrap up our week on mummies and pyramids (no pun intended haha), Hunter experienced an archaeological dig right in our dining room :o) I found this Dig and Play Egyptian Tomb kit on Amazon, and was saving it for the perfect time - Friday was that time!
~
I hid the box, and just presented Hunter with the plaster brick and digging tools. We talked about archaeologists, and what it might be like to find a Pharaoh's treasure!
~
This was the first glimpse of treasure:

Hunter's face was so cute, because he didn't have a clue about what he was expecting to find!
~
~
Brushing away the dust!
~
~
All kinds of treasures!
~
And of course, a mummy! (Hunter was VERY excited about this!)
~
How awesome is Hunter's surprised/excited face?? I love that I get to experience moments like this, in the middle of a Friday afternoon :o)

I remember loving the studies in ancient Egyptian civilization, but it was never as cool as this.
