My story begins one October when mom and I were out for a walk looking for beautifully colored rocks. After collecting some we washed and oiled them to bring out their color. Later that day my grandpa and grandma tell us there is going to be a Gem and Rock show in Moab. This starts us thinking about going to Moab to sale our rocks.
We collect all our rock treasures and put them in the car heading up to Moab. When we arrive we drive our car inside the Old Spanish Trail Arena to set up shop. We open our trunk and unpack the rock near our table. Then we help grandpa with his dinosaur bones and petrified wood. WOW! They were HEAVY! We then jump in mom's durango and head go to our hotel, it is called Jr’s Desert Inn, we were in room 101, It was average, but ok. What mattered was we had great fun at the rock show.
The next morning at 8:00 a.m. we headed to the Rock and Gem show to get our rock treasures ready for the big day! Man the arena was huge and noisey! We sold desert roses rocks, they are from Morocco. alabaster carved balls with 2 balls inside a ball. Amazing! Desert rocks, geodes, minerals and fossils. The next day I made a friend and her name was Maddie she was nice and gentle. So I gave her a crystal ball to make a friends with her.
We started to get busy selling my treasures. Later I went to the food court which was upstairs. I ordered some nachos with cheese. They were delicious, until I got some on my jacket. During the show I learned how talking with people and building a relationships with them helps you to trade things and increase your profits. I leaned how to deal with people and help each other. That was the best part of learning. Around 7:00 p.m. everyone put blankets or sheets on there treasures to keep off dirt on there stuff, we did it to. The ending of an incredible day!
On Saturday my dad came up and traded with mom so she can go home to work, she took grandpa with her. Soon after she left I started to miss my mother, but I still had a great time with dad! The whole weekend was a great experience. On Sunday the last day my dad and I head over to the Rock & Gem show and sold more of my rocks. After the rock show was over all the sellers brought there cars and trucks inside the arena to pack there stuff and head home. But my dad and I took grandma and grandpa to Zaks is our favorite place to eat in Moab. We drove home and went to bed exhausted.
