Kennecott Copper Mine(part 2)

We wanted to take the kids to do something different this weekend. I had hoped to take them hiking. However, Paul and I both did house projects this weekend and didn't quite have the energy for hiking. My dad mentioned going out to the mine. Paul and I had never been there and we knew Colin would like seeing the trucks again, so we went. It's a long drive straight across the valley. You're literally almost exactly across the valley from our house, on the opposite mountain bench.


The mine


The tires on the trucks that work in the mine are huge(and expensive). Here are the stats and some pictures of Colin with the tire.








Pictures from the day


Paul pulled this hat out for Colin to wear the other day. He hasn't taken it off since. He loves it and it practically fits him.







Audrey had a lot of fun while we were there. She just loves to run around everywhere. She climbed up these stairs and ran down this ramp 5 times before she moved onto something new.
