boo-boo on the aa (ah-ah)

We made a quick stop to Sunset Crater National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona to check out the volcanic rock.  The boys have been learning lots about rocks... I think they could point out basalt.      


We did a short hike on the Lava Flow Trail, composed of aa (ah-ah) lava - very rough and sharp.    

Weston took a dive head first into the jagged rock right here.  
 


This picture doesn't show it very well, but the cut above his eye was pretty deep.  We thought he might need stitches, but we eventually decided to let it be.  It healed up pretty well.  
Weston can say he got a boo-boo on the aa!
