The Mineral County Parents as Teachers program put on their annual summer Dino Dig event on Saturday, July 19. This year's sandy fun was focused on Dads bringing their little ones to Repke Beach in Superior to excavate buried "dinosaur bones". First, the mini paleontologists had to do some dino-sized stretching to warm up for their digging and searching(Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)

After each digger discovered a bone, they were tasked with bringing it back to the beach blanket and working to identify what they found. Though leaders and participants couldn't agree on how long the digs have been going on, it's anyone's guess how many years, or even how many bones were dug up that day.

PHOTOS: St. Regis flea market
The four-way stop is backed up to I-90, the smell of concession stand burgers and sweet kettle corn hangs in the air, a little blue shuttle carries passengers and their treasures back to their vehicles. It's Memorial Day weekend in St. Regis, Montana - it's Flea Market time! The 49th annual swap meet at the St. Regis Park hosted over 200 vendors, while the normally sleepy little town bustled with traffic and hundreds of flea market goers.
