Kennecott Copper Mine

Saturday afternoon Nate took us all up to Kennecott to show us what he does for a living. Unfortunately the trucks that have been working by the road for a month or more moved maybe an hour before we arrived. It was still cool to see the HUGE trucks working down below.

Some very old mining equipment.

Inside the visitor's center looking at how the mine has grown.
Nate got a text from Tony when we were just getting to the mine. Since Tony was incredibly bored-for once, Nate invited him to meet us.
The kids really liked looking at all the precious stones through the microscope.
A family photo. Nicholas, Grandma, Grandpa, Camryn, Travis, Josh, Terra, VaLyn, Matt, Jonas, Ethan, Morgan, Katie, Jordyn, Kaden, Chuck, Allie, Kayla, Melissa, and Nate.
Daddies showing things to their girls.

I'm sure Nate gets sick of the drive, but we appreciate him showing us what he does. We especially appreciate him doing what he does so we can do what we do.
