Kennicott Copper Mine

We had a great day at the Kennicott Copper mine with our friends Wendy, Ava and Aldwin Wood.  We went to the mine and then had lunch in a nearby park. When we got up there Alana had thrown up so she got to wear an extra outfit that Wendy had for Aldwin, that is why she looks like a boy with pigtails.
I think the huge tire was one of the most fascinating things as well as the mine its self! They cost $25,000, you have 6 on the truck and they only last a year.  That is $150,000 a year in tires- yowzers!!! Also the trucks only go about 13 miles an hour.





This random stranger wanted to take a picture with her camera of our cute kids so I got a picture of her too.



The kids were fascinated with this bucket that was on display from the mine.  FYI we learned you are not supposed to get in the bucket and were told to get the kids out.
