"Stay"cation Day 5

I forgot about Day 5!  On day 5 we went to Kennecott Copper Mine in Bingham Canyon.  It took about  an hour and a half to get there, we were there for about an hour, and then we left.  But it was cool to see the dump trucks because they are the size of a two-story house!  And they had a little video that we watched about how they drill out the canyon to get the copper and gold and silver.  Ellie did pretty good during the movie, but there was another baby there and all she wanted to do was talk to her! 

We also got her and Clint a copper-coated post card as a souvenier.  When I told Clint we were going there he told me that he didn't really remember his trip from when he was little, except for the dump trucks and his copper-coated postcard.  I couldn't resist!







 I know this truck looks little but it was far away.  They are actually HUGE!



 Watchin' the movie & chillin'
 These are models of the progression of the mine from 1900 to 2015








It was super windy but super fun to see!!!
