Kennecott mines

Our neighborhood has an activity once a week and it has made this summer a little more interesting. It gets us out doing something other than trying to entertain our children with otter pops and water balloons. This past week we went up to the Kennecott mine and toured the place, watched the movie and of course posed for pictures. After we went to a park nearby and had a picnic. It was great.

Looking through the microscope and seeing the details of rocks from the mine.

The mine itself. They said that the Impire State building wouldn't even come half way as deep as the mine hole. Crazy!
