Meet Crin. This grumpy face started it all.

A photo of the rock that became Crin.

I was made a very long time ago. I laid around and hugged sand and silt and bits of crinoids and other fossils. I hugged it so hard, we became a sedimentary rock.
I’m not always sure about things, but I love to sing, I love my mom, and my best friend, Iggy.

A photo of the rock that became Iggy.

I was made by hot magma beneath a volcano. I cooled slowly inside the earth. When the earth moved, I found my way to the surface. Then as the glaciers carved the Great Lakes, I moved with them.
I’m sure about everything. Everything except sharks. I love playing Balanced rock. I love my dad and Crin.

Geode! Crin's day is off to a rocky start. Can Iggy's uplifting nature helps Crin skip to a new beat?

Join Crin and Iggy as they navigate a fear of sharks, learning to swim and sleepover trembles in this summer day adventure.
