Painting Rocks

I remember finding a pretty rock last year. It was laying under a bush at the Outlet mall. I did not pick it up. I thought maybe it was there for a reason. I did snap a photo though.

Well it so happens I think I was supose to have picked it up because im seeing this frenzy everywhere now.

I told Nick about how I keep reading how people are finding rocks and on the back of them, there are instructions to take a photo, post it on facebook, where you found it and the rock group its from. I bet thats what the rock was I saw that day. Now I want in on the fun! 

He said, well I just saw one on my walk but didn't know. "Really?" I questioned. So he drove me two blocks up the road and sure enough there it was.

I picked it up and it was from "cleveland strong Rocks". Cleveland is a county next to me so that shows how far the rock has traveled so far.  

I rehid it while I was in Charlotte the other day. I hope a child finds it and post it. Ill be watching to see how far it ends up. 

Now for me, I took out my paints and found a couple rocks to paint to join in on the fun.

This is all I plan to do. Its Just a fun thing. I painted three rocks.

 

I plan to hide them soon. The camper one will be hid at the beach later. I mean it is a traveling rock. Right? Mine will belong to the group "Gastonia Rocks". 

There are now groups popping up everywhere to hide and find rocks. Its getting crazy. 

So I'll just step back after this.

People paint them with messages, happy thoughts, memorials, advertisements or just art. Kids are going crazy everywhere looking for rocks. 

I'm thinking the Easter bunny has some competition. 

Its a good thing for the kids to get away from tv and video games and go outside. I just hope people stay safe. 

Find a painted rock? Pick it up. Read its message and rehide it. 

Its like spreading smiles!
