KENNECOTT COPPER MINE

We finally took the boys up to the mine by our house! They thought it was the greatest thing ever and had so much fun exploring through the museum and watching the big huge trucks. Even Macks thought it was great fun! Too bad he threw up all the way home and ruined our plans for a good dinnner! Oh well, I'd rather have throw up in his car seat than in the museum full of people.

By the big huge tire that are on the trucks....6 tires on each truck, each tire costs $25,000, and weighs over 10,000 pounds. WOW!


Watching the big scooper truck fill up the dump trucks with rocks....


A part of the mine....


Macks loved this exhibit....he could actually reach the buttons and make the exhibit light up...what fun!!


The boys checked out each exhibit ever so carefully....they loved learning about the mine.
(I'm not quite sure what Madden is doing here?!? Maybe he needed to go to the bathroom?!)
